NFL Exec: Sam Darnold Contract Will be Targeted by 'A Lot of Places' in Free Agency

There isn't expected to be any shortage of interest in Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold once he hits free agency in 2025.

"I think Darnold is going to figure into the options in a lot of places," one NFL executive told Mike Sando of The Athletic.

The 27-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season with the Vikings, helping Minnesota reach an impressive 11-2 record through 13 games. His long-term future with the team is uncertain as rookie signal-caller J.J. McCarthy enters the mix next year, though.

"McCarthy is their guy," the exec said, per Sando.
