The Elephant in the Room

Sam has made over $65m in his NFL career. That's generational wealth. Our only hope to keep Sam in purple is he is not chasing the bag.

If getting the big contract is important to him, and he continues to play well down the stretch, Vikings brass has to consider the franchise tag and trade option.

If you go the Franchise and trade route, that will change the dialog on the nurturing nature of the Vikings and the QB whisperer by taking it all out of the players control.  For instance...signing and trading him back to the Jets.  

KOC should know whether Daniel Jones is a viable replacement before we have to do anything drastic with Darnold.
