The Minnesota Vikings could make a splashy albeit contentious move this offseason, unrelated to Sam Darnold's free agency.

Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold's post on social media ahead of free agency drew widespread reactions from NFL fans.

Minnesota was intrigued with Darnold after he spent time learning from 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, one of the league’s best offensive minds. Kevin O’Connell built on that, helping get Darnold selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time.

There are plenty of really good reasons why the Vikings should do the opposite of what the insider thinks will happen.

A pending free agent, Vikings QB Sam Darnold's chances to land with the Raiders may have gotten a boost with the hiring of Pete Carroll.

The poll predicted Darnold will be the quarterback of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025. Although they have yet to hire a head coach, the Raiders will be in the mix because they have the money to acquire Darnold.

The Minnesota Vikings got an exceptional year from Sam Darnold, and he's starting to win awards for his performance.

Sam Darnold piled up stats this season, charmed the fanbase and probably earned himself a nice payday in the process. But will he get it from the Vikings?

Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings were one of the biggest surprises of the NFL season, entering the playoffs with a 14-3 record. Darnold took over the staring quarterback duties in his first year with the organization and had the best season of his career.

Sam Darnold’s second straight Jets-esque performance in a primetime game, this one ending the Vikings’ season Monday night in the 27-9 wild-card loss to the Rams, has perhaps helped solidify to Minnesota decision-makers how they should handle their upcoming quarterback controversy.
