The Los Angeles Rams are serious. The team’s pass rush, which has long been praised for its ability to put constant pressure on opposing quarterbacks, improved their performance. In a single game, the youthful and fervent defensive line inflicted agony and insults on veteran quarterback Sam Darnold of the Minnesota Vikings. Oh no!
The future of the Minnesota Vikings football franchise was the subject of rampant conjecture by NFL commentators during the 2024 season. After all, in Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Vikings selected former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the 10th overall pick. Regretfully, the rookie quarterback’s first NFL season ended before it even started due to an ACL injury sustained during the preseason.
Don’t worry. The Vikings also signed veteran quarterback Sam Darnold. And he had an absolutely amazing 2024 NFL season. Darnold, a veteran quarterback, fit in well with Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell’s scheme of things. His popularity soared after he was selected to the NFL Pro Bowl for the first time in his career, and his first season with the Vikings turned out to be the best football season of his career.
It appeared as though his Cinderella season was coming together. The Minnesota Vikings have offered him a one-year contract. Expectations that he may earn an extremely rich multi-year contract when the 2024 NFL season ended caused NFL rumors to suddenly become louder and more common. According to OTC.com, Darnold’s 2025 NFL fair market value.
Additionally, the amount Darnold would receive in his next NFL contract might cost him millions of dollars.
