The NFL Franchise/Transition Tag window is opening up today. The Minnesota Vikings have a few potential candidates to be tagged.
Sam Darnold
QB Franchise Tag $41.325M - Transition Tag $35.267M
Darnold could be a bridge if JJ McCarthy isn’t ready or if the Vikings think Darnold is the answer they are searching for at QB. Franchise tag would be cheaper than an extension.
Byron Murphy Jr
CB Franchise Tag $20.357M - Transition Tag $17.198M
Murphy is the team’s top CB. He played well down the stretch.
