What do you do in the offseason if you are the Vikings?

He’s getting money.

Yup. He’s gonna have a ton of leverage too.

I don’t get why people are handwaving the guy getting a Baker Mayfield esque deal. Baker is the 18th highest paid QB. That’s market rate. And hell Darnold isn’t gonna cost you draft picks.

For a team like the Colts and Giants that’s 100% worth it. It’s a shit year to draft a QB and your job is on the line. You need to get to the playoffs now.
Hell Ben Johnson might get him if he goes to Vegas.

Darnold is a fine bridge QB like Alex was. Pay him, get your pieces for your future QBOTF and keep looking in future drafts.
