Will the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in 2025 be Sam Darnold, J.J. McCarthy or Daniel Jones? It's the biggest question of the offseason and Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah isn't tipping his hand.
The Minnesota Vikings are expected to consider replacing Sam Darnold with former New York Giants starting QB Daniel Jones.

That free agent quarterback was none other than Daniel Jones, who spent the better part of the last six seasons as the Giants' starting quarterback. As Jones and the Vikings prepare to make their 2025 playoff run, let's take a look at how Danny Dimes ended up in Minnesota.
There's a door open for Jones in Minnesota, according to general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. In his end-of-season news conference, Adofo-Mensah openly admitted that the move to sign Jones midseason was to get a feel for his potential fit with questions surrounding Darnold and McCarthy.
McCarthy missed his entire rookie campaign with a knee injury that could impact his readiness next year and he has yet to take a regular season snap in the NFL. Jones could sign a one-year contract with the Vikings similar to the $10 million deal Darnold inked in 2024 and serve as a backup and/or bridge QB to McCarthy.
