Sam Darnold reflects on the Minnesota Vikings’ Wild Card exit, and looks ahead to a new opportunity with the Seahawks.

Sam Darnold knows he began his Minnesota Vikings stint with a bang and ended it with a whimper last season. The 28-year-old quarterback had a breakout campaign in Minnesota following six uninspiring seasons to start his NFL career.

The Minnesota Vikings made attempts at bringing back Sam Darnold for the 2025 season, but his reason for walking away is now evident.

Earlier in the offseason, the Vikings opted to pass on options like Aaron Rodgers in favor of McCarthy. However, there has been continued buzz about the team potentially pursuing a backup upgrade over Sam Howell, who they traded for during the draft.

Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper thinks J.J. McCarthy could thrive early in his new starting role.

Now, the Minnesota Vikings are being urged to get control of their quarterback situation before it's too late. The post Vikings Cautioned on Next Move With J.J. McCarthy appeared first on Heavy Sports.
