Sam Darnold, quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, is having a standout season and is expected to be a top free agent in 2025. Despite his impressive performance, the Vikings have not discussed a long-term contract with him, especially after drafting J.J. McCarthy.

Potential landing spots for Darnold include the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, and possibly a return to the New York Jets. Each team presents unique needs and circumstances that could influence their pursuit of Darnold.
