Sam Darnold is not expected to return to the Minnesota Vikings in 2025, per NFL Network. The Vikings recently declined to use the franchise tag on Darnold, who quarterbacked the team in 2024.
The recent trade that sent Geno Smith to Las Vegas from Seattle is expected to be a primary reason why Darnold isn’t returning. The Seahawks need a quarterback now with Smith gone to play for Pete Carroll once again.
Darnold had the best year of his career in this previous campaign. He threw for more than 4,000 yards and led Minnesota to 14 victories. The Vikings lost in the NFC Playoffs, in a game against the Los Angeles Rams.
This story will be updated.
