Giants’ quarterback ‘desperation’ might push them to target Sam Darnold in free agency

The New York Giants need to solve their quarterback issue this offseason. Picking third overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, the G-Men might not get the chance to take the quarterback prospect they desire in the first round. As a result, they need to enter the draft with a solid backup plan, signing a legitimate starter in free agency who can compete even if they don’t land a coveted rookie.

One of the top names on the market this offseason will be Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold. The former New York Jets 2018 first-round pick had a career year in 2024, throwing for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns and leading the Vikings to a 14-3 record.
