According to @andrewkrammer.bsky.social the Vikings “do not anticipate tagging Sam Darnold” ahead of Tuesday’s deadline and will let Darnold test free agency.

What is the likelihood Sam Darnold looks like an overpaid JAG on any team that isn't the Vikings in 2025?
I'll give it a 70% chance.

It’s not shocking that the same people who focused on counting stats as the way to knock McCarthy as a draft prospect are also the same ones who don’t haven’t a nuanced view of the salary cap. It’s also why you will continue to misread the situation, especially with this Vikings front office.

One of my biggest pet peeves in football conversations is the idea of how important it is for players (especially QBs) need to learn from other players. Yes, a good example is helpful, but that’s what coaches are for. Players are focused on their own improvement, not other guys.

My prediction: Vikings tag and trade Darnold to the Rams for their first round pick
I think absent a complete meltdown in the playoffs, you can lock in a Sam Darnold franchise tag. What happens after that is anyone’s guess.
1. They keep him and JJ and have them battle it out
2. They sign him to a short extension using the tag as leverage
3. They tag and trade him

Andrew Van Ginkel is the NFC defensive player of the week, after the #Vikings linebacker had two sacks in the team’s win in Seattle on Sunday. It’s the first Player of the Week award in Van Ginkel’s career; he’s the second Vikings player to win it this year, after Jonathan Greenard in Week 3.

Taking notes of all the JJ McCarthy slander I'm seeing on different apps. When the Vikings move on from Darnold and McCarthy has a great season, you're all going to look like fools, just like you did when you said Kirk was irreplaceable. Having an elite coach and weapons is being underrated here.

I have 0 interest in this for the Vikings. I appreciate everything Sam has done but they need to let another team pay him.
Daniel Jones was a pending free agent with a light market from other teams, but was still awarded $40M/year from the #Giants, 17.8% of the '23 salary cap.
Assuming a similar scenario for Sam Darnold this March, that 17.8% allocation would mean a contract north of $48M per year.

It’s not just about Darnold vs McCarthy - which is already a fun debate
It’s Darnold vs JJ and a number of other quality starters you could pay instead of Darnold.
Greenard + AVG + Cashman = 36.5 million AAV
QB Franchise Tag = 41 million
Trey Smith? DJ Reed? Ward?

It's apparently the week we're all talking about Sam Darnold's future, so for my Vikings Big Question video this week, I took a look at some of the things the Vikings will have to consider when making a decision about their future at QB:
With Sam Darnold playing so well, will the Vikings sign him or move on to J.J. McCarthy?
In this week's Vikings Big Question, Vikings beat reporter Ben Goessling looks at whether Sam Darnold’s big season means he could return in 2025, or whether ...

If you followed me on Twitter, you know just how cathartic this Kirk benching news is to me. I was in the trenches for YEARS over there on how the Vikings need to move on and had some really disgusting things said to me just because I didn’t support their favorite QB. Hope some lessons were learned.

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell should be the Executive of the Year and Coach of the Year.
They should both get fat and long contract extensions too.

Let Kirk be the lesson not to be fooled by the wizardry of KOC.
