    The door is officially open to go after Darnold should the Steelers be interested.

    Vikes bringing in Jones which is a clear indication the JJ era will be starting at some point next season with Jones eventually backing him up.

    They're going from Darnold to Daniel Jones???? Was Tebow not available?

    Darnold isnt going to be a backup after the season he had. They had to move on in order to play JJ.

    Vikings didn’t hesitate releasing Darnold. Yet, they signed Daniel Jones!
    Oh, you think he’s leaving coz he is a starter?
    Thank you for winning 14 games, but let us show you the door.

    I wonder if Vikings even offered Darnold the backup role?

    It’s the most common sense thing ever. Do you really think the Viking wouldnt at least keep Darnold as a BU if they could? They know some team is going to sign him away this off season.

    How do you think that conversation would even go in the front office? “Hey, Darnold just helped us win 14 games, lets bring in Daniel ****ing Jones to start in place of him” :goofy:

    I would like to see the Steelers sign Justin Fields to Sam Darnold's 2024 $10 million contract this year.

    I think giving Justin Fileds a 1 year prove it contract for $10 million would be about right.

    I'm not saying Darnold won't be available but that X account is a nobody and JJ is already practicing.

    He played 2024 for $10M and certainly out played that

    Why would the Vikings pay more than that for a backup

    Why would he play for less than that when he most certainly can get more elsewhere

    What about the 4 year contract he had where he did prove it

    It just wasn’t outstanding

    That is exactly what they did

    They didn’t move up in the draft to get McCarthy to sit on the bench

    QB is moot until the O line is fixed. I fee like a broken record. I've been saying this sh!t for years.

    Yeah he got me. Could have sworn I saw Schefter reporting it too but just went through his feed and saw nothing. It’s believed they are looking at Jones though but nothing has happened as of yet.

    Exactly and just throwing bodies at the issue won’t fix the issue. They need to look at the coaches and the scheme first.

    Darnold had a good year but I can't get behind signing him to a big contract. What kind of numbers do you all think he'll get?

    I think in the hands of a new O-Line coach this young line could turn out to be pretty good. FIRE PAT MEYER NOW!!!!!

    Daniel Jones's contract with the Giants was 4 year $160 million. I think after the year Darnold just had, he will be looking for something similar.

    Some combination of these

    And to think a couple of trolls claim I don’t add anything to the board

    Andy is old although not in comparison to you

    He hasn’t played much in a couple of years and his play has been very mediocre

    I’m not promoting Darnold but he is younger and has something good recently

    With proper coaching there is every reason this line could be much better next year

    Mediocre maybe but that is an upgrade over poor

    And better things should come
