The Vikings could keep Darnold from reaching free agency by signing him to a multiyear deal before the new league year opens on March 12 or by retaining his rights for 2025 via the franchise tag.

To no one's surprise, the Vikings' quarterback situation has come up a few times as Justin Jefferson has made his Super Bowl week media rounds down in New Orleans. And to no one's surprise, Minnesota's superstar has played both sides, expressing that he'll do his thing on the field no matter who's throwing him the ball next season.

Much like other teams entering free agency, it’s unclear who the Vikings’ starting quarterback will be in 2025.
