Is Franchise Tag an option for Darnold?

To me the strongest piece of evidence that the Vikings intend to let Darnold hit the market is the signing of Jones. I still think it has to play out a little bit, but Jones does not fit on this team at all with both Darnold and McCarthy.

Ehh, aren't we paying Jones like $400K? And then he's a FA. I'm sure they're getting a good look at him and they also think he might be a better option than Mullens, but I personally am not reading much into 2025 based on Daniel Jones.

It's not about the money. Unless the Vikings signed him just for the comp pick, which I doubt, I don't see a way that all three of Darnold, McCarthy and Jones are on this roster in 2025.

No, there is no way all 3 are on the roster for 25. 

I posted elsewhere, Dimes could end up the reason they dont tag Darnold. 

Lots to play out still and 4 crazy weeks ahead of us. Thats damn near 1/4 of the season still to go.
