Chat room 💬 What does Sam Darnold have to do in order to get a contract extension with Minnesota?

Get the Hollywood treatment

Stay alive

Sigh with Seattle please.

Anybody who thinks he needs to do anything else is out of their mind.

Just let the team Diddy him

Playoff win

Turn into Tom Brady over night

Win a playoff game with the coach

Conference championship, but I doubt it. He's going to be one of the hottest FA QBs on the market with a super thin draft class. They're not going to extend him, too expensive.

Win the Super Bowl. Otherwise it makes more sense to run it with 1st round pick JJM who was playing just as well as Darnold in the preseason under a true QB competition. JJM costs a fraction of what Darnold would and the Vikings get a 3rd round comp pick letting Darnold walk

I think he has done everything in his power right now to earn a new deal. For how much money or length of time? No one knows. I don’t see us giving him more than 2 years though. Could end up like a Love/Rodgers situation, but they need to give McCarthy a chance sooner rather than later. And if Sam continues to play well if he does resign, then you forget about McCarthy. I don’t think any Vikings fans would be upset if we rolled with Darnold for a reasonable price. He’s been playing great and has us in a great position.

Win a playoff game**

I think he already did it, or just win the first playoff game

Last game of the year

He will always be the guy seeing ghosts to me until further notice lol

Break McCarthys other leg

Sam Darnold will be a Viking next year unless he bombs in the playoffs

Remove that giant wart first most

Super Bowl

a playoff game

Kirk is coming home next year

League minimum contract

So many folks have no idea how contracts or FA or football in general actually works.
