Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold will be a hot-ticket item on the NFL free agent market, said offensive coordinator Wes Phillips.
Darnold signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Vikings to serve as a bridge quarterback for first-round pick J.J. McCarthy. But Darnold has embarked on an MVP-caliber campaign, leading the team to an 11-2 record and putting up career numbers. Phillips said Darnold’s season so far should put to rest concerns about his ability to be a starting quarterback, after he struggled early in his career.
