Everything is pointing towards this being Sam Darnold's only season in a Minnesota Vikings uniform. Ever since rookie QB J.J. McCarthy impressed in training camp and then suffered a knee injury that ended his season before it began,

The Vikings are on the verge of the playoffs with quarterback Sam Darnold, who NFL sources believe will not return to Minnesota.

Sam Darnold is “excited” about Daniel Jones’ next NFL chapter in Minnesota. On Wednesday, the same day it was reported the former Giants quarterback is signing with the Vikings, the team’s current signal-caller said he’s “very happy to be teammates with Jones,” who was released by Big Blue last Friday after five-and-a-half rollercoaster seasons.
