  • The talk of the offseason for the Minnesota Vikings is who will take the first snap under center in 2025. The Vikings could bring back last year's starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, either by the franchise tag or a longer-term deal.

The article from MSN Sports discusses the Minnesota Vikings' quarterback options for the 2025 season, weighing the pros and cons of various scenarios. Kirk Cousins, who has been with the Vikings since 2018, could return if he proves his health and performance post-injury, offering stability and familiarity with the team's system. However, his age and injury history are significant concerns. Alternatively, the Vikings could draft a new quarterback, which would provide a long-term solution with a lower salary cap hit, but this comes with the risk of the rookie needing time to develop and adapt to the NFL. Free agency presents another route, with names like Ryan Tannehill or Jimmy Garoppolo potentially available, offering experience but possibly not the long-term answer. Lastly, trading for a quarterback like Trey Lance or Zach Wilson could be considered, though this carries its own set of uncertainties regarding their development and fit within the team's culture and strategy. Each option has its trade-offs between immediate impact, cost, and future potential.
