It may not come as much of a surprise, but the Minnesota Vikings want Sam Darnold back under center next season. The Athletic’s NFL insider Dianna Russini is reporting that after talking to a Vikings’ team source, one thing is clear: the Vikings want Darnold back next season.
The original plan was for Darnold to be a one year- or less- bridge to top draft pick J. J. McCarthy, but two things happened to change that plan. First, McCarthy suffered a knee injury in August that has put his on-field development on hold until next spring.
