Despite his success replacing Kirk Cousins, quarterback Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings haven't had any discussions regarding a long-term contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Darnold, who is scheduled to be a free agent after this season, is playing on a one-year, $10 million contract. He became the Vikings' starter after rookie J.J. McCarthy, the No. 10 pick in the 2024 draft, went on injured reserve in August because of a torn meniscus in his right knee.
Darnold, who was drafted third overall in 2018, has led the Vikings to a 10-2 record behind a career-best year.
