While Sam Darnold is considered as the top quarterback option in free agency, there are three reasons why the New York Giants shouldn't bid for his services.

Retired New York Giants WR Victor Cruz believes Sam Darnold could solve the team’s quarterback problems in 2025.

The Titans and Browns are best positioned for Sanders and Ward given that they hold the draft’s No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively. But the Raiders are in an equally dire situation to the Giants, and the Jets, Steelers, Colts and Saints all could make big changes, too.

Vikings QB San Darnold is projected to be one of the most in-demand quarterbacks if he hits free agency. If the New York Giants plan to pursue pending unrestricted free agent quarterback Sam Darnold to solve their quarterback issue, it will likely cost them a lot of money.

Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports on Jan. 28 predicted that Minnesota will ultimately land on Jimmy Garoppolo, who led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl following the 2019 campaign where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs .

Minnesota Vikings quarterback and pending free agent Sam Darnold is expected to ink a $120 million deal this offseason.

The Minnesota Vikings got great quarterback play from Sam Darnold in 2024. He led them to a 14-win regular season and an unexpected playoff berth. But his final two games left a lot of people questioning whether he could be a long-term NFL quarterback.
