Vikings Haven't Made Determination On Sam Darnold's Future

Monday, February 3, 8:53 PM

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that the Minnesota Vikings haven't made a firm determination on impending free-agent quarterback Sam Darnold's future with the organization. Darnold exceeded all expectations in 2024, and bringing him back is a stronger possibility that it was five or six months ago. However, the Vikings have a cap on what they'll spend on the QB position, especially after he struggled to close out the year. Some agents think Darnold shouldn't take a penny less than Daniel Jones' four-year, $160 million deal with the New York Giants two years ago. He could get something similar to Baker Mayfield's three-year, $100 million deal, or the Vikes could slap the $35.3 million transition tag on him. Darnold threw for 4,319 yards, 35 TDs and 12 interceptions in 17 games, but his struggles in the final two games will ultimately cost him a lot of money on the open market. Whether the Vikings keep him will depend on how confident they are in J.J. McCarthy and Jones.

Jordan Love Throws Three Interceptions In Playoff Defeat

Sunday, January 12, 8:55 PM

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love put up a lackluster performance at one of the most inopportune times during the Packers' 22-10 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Love was 20-of-33 passing for 212 yards but threw three interceptions that potentially took points off the board when points were at a premium all game. The first came on a deep shot to Dontayvion, the second an ill-advised throw down the middle with Zack Baun in perfect position to make the pick. The third sealed the game late in the fourth quarter. Love also added 10 yards on two rushing attempts but overall, this was a disappointing outing. With Love entering his sixth season, Love will be a fringe starting fantasy quarterback for 2025.
