The Titans and Browns are best positioned for Sanders and Ward given that they hold the draft’s No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively. But the Raiders are in an equally dire situation to the Giants, and the Jets, Steelers, Colts and Saints all could make big changes, too.

Sam Darnold has had a tumultuous career, having started his career with the very worst and now been given the chance to finally prove his worth. With Minnesota continuing on with JJ McCarthy, that leaves the question of where he heads next.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to join a winner, and the Minnesota Vikings could soon have a vacancy at starting QB.

The Voice of the New York Jets, Bob Wischusen, has called for the team to sign Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold to a monster contract.

As such, Minnesota will be in prime position to revive another former starting quarterback's career in 2025 -- potentially as McCarthy's backup and/or his competition. The Vikings signed former New York Giants signal-caller Daniel Jones after he was cut mid-season and bringing him back is an option if Darnold departs.

Like Wilson, Darnold struggled during his first few seasons in the NFL after being picked in the first round by the New York Jets.

Raiders' next franchise signal-caller could be a proven veteran like Sam Darnold, rather than an NFL Draft selection.

Signed by the Vikings in March on a one-year, $10 million deal, Darnold — starting over injured rookie J.J. McCarthy, who underwent surgery for his meniscus during preseason — helped lead Minnesota to a 14-3 regular season record that boasted a nine-game win streak.

The Minnesota Vikings have been floated as a landing spot for Jets QB Aaron Rodgers, while Sam Darnold has been linked to New York.

The New York Jets drafted him third overall in the 2018 NFL draft ... while leading the Vikings to a 14-3 record. "Sam Darnold is a huge reason why we won 14 games. And his teammates know that, we know it," Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said this ...

Rodgers returned from a torn Achilles this season to high hopes, with many experts predicting the Jets would end their playoff drought. The team instead stumbled to a 5-12 record, struggling on both sides of the ball and enduring internal turmoil that included the firing of both the head coach and general manager.
