The Vikings wasted no time. A few hours after the departure of Kirk Cousins for Atlanta, the purple leaders have already brought a new option into the dance at the quarterback position.
NFL Media announces that Sam Darnold will sign a one-year, $10 million contract to join Minnesota. Apparently, the Commanders and Broncos were also interested in the services of the former number 3 in the Draft.
Finally takeoff for Sam Darnold?
Sam Darnold is still only 26 years old, but this is already his fourth team. After the Jets for three years, two years at Carolina and only one with the 49ers, here he is with a chance to find a starting role again.
Since the start of his career, the former USC player has thrown 63 touchdowns for 56 interceptions in 66 games, including 56 as a starter.
He will hardly be able to do worse than Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall, who did not have great success after Kirk Cousins’ injury last year.
With Kevin O’Connell at the helm and a target like Justin Jefferson, Sam Darnold could hardly find a better chance to finally launch his NFL career.
