The #Vikings want JJ McCarthy to start next year, and did not made a contract offer to Sam Darnold last week, per @MatthewBerryTMR. According to Berry, there is “not much of a market” for Sam Darnold’s thus far: “Darnold is stuck in this weird no man’s land at the moment. Seems crazy to think this, but if dominoes fall a specific way, there’s 100% a scenario where Sam Darnold doesn’t have a starting job next year.”

So when the smoke clears next week, keep a tab on all the online podcast shit talkers/rumor mongers that just made shit up to get clicks. Because 100% that happens, way more than I'd like sifting through the garbage.
I swear, every time I go on Twitter there's a different and totally opposite take on this topic. Each one includes replies that this is the "obvious" answer and if the Vikings had chosen a different path, by golly, they're done being a fan! Oh no, say it isn't so, Twitter moron.

Why waste the cap space giving Darnold $30 million this year? I've come to the conclusion that the sports media doesn't have a f-ing clue about anything right now. They are just pushing narratives to try and be right when it all comes out next week and also get those clicks and views. I'll take opinions for opinion sake instead of 'My sources indicate.....'.

Dimes will be gone if Darnold stays. I still don't really see the upside of another year of Darnold unless you believe McCarthy isn't the answer.
