The Minnesota Vikings are never going to be able to live down the massive mistake they made at quarterback.
They have Sam Darnold right there on their roster and could have brought him back on a longer deal when he became a free agent last offseason. Minnesota decided to give J.J. McCarthy a chance to start in 2025, but that decision resulted in Darnold leading the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl and former general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah getting fired.
Now, everyone on the Vikings is speaking out about their former teammate playing in the biggest game of the season and how it should have been them.
