Tyler Forness discusses how Kirk Cousins' previous contract with the Minnesota Vikings might keep the team from re-signing quarterback Sam Darnold.

The Titans and Browns are best positioned for Sanders and Ward given that they hold the draft’s No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively. But the Raiders are in an equally dire situation to the Giants, and the Jets, Steelers, Colts and Saints all could make big changes, too.

Sam Darnold’s season did not end in a memorable way, but he still could be the best available quarterback this offseason. How much will he earn?

There are plenty of really good reasons why the Vikings should do the opposite of what the insider thinks will happen.

The Vikings get a needed boost to their draft stock with the expectation they'll receive a third-round pick for Kirk Cousins' departure.

There was once an outside chance that the Vikings could land two comp picks for the 2025 draft, after also losing defensive end Danielle Hunter in free agency to the Houston Texans. Per Korte, that pick was ultimately offset by Minnesota signing cornerback Shaq Griffin last March.

Sam Darnold piled up stats this season, charmed the fanbase and probably earned himself a nice payday in the process. But will he get it from the Vikings?

Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold's final two games of the season have made Minnesota' decision at the position much easier.

If the Steelers don't move forward with Justin Fields or Russell Wilson, they have a few options via trade and free agency.

What a difference a couple of weeks make. The Minnesota Vikings went from a Super Bowl contending, 14-game winner playing for the NFC North title with the conference's No. 1 seed and a wild-card bye on the line -- before Week 18's 31-9 defeat by the Detroit Lions -- to an early playoff exit because of a 27-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams .

Sam Darnold picked the right time to have a career year ... McCarthy was clearly selected with the objective that he’d be the long-term replacement for Kirk Cousins, who departed for the Atlanta Falcons last year. The Michigan product displayed, albeit ...

Should the Vikings pay Darnold after his (mostly) excellent season? Or should they go with McCarthy and spend that money at other positions?
