General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah told reporters during Thursday’s season-ending news conference that Darnold is among the “good options” the Vikings have at quarterback moving forward.

Before the Minnesota Vikings suffered a 27-9 wild-card playoff loss at the Los Angeles Rams this past Monday, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell became the subject of some interesting trade rumors with his current contract set to expire after the 2025 season.
