Sergio Estrada-USA TODAY Sports

Grade: B

Reported Terms: one year, $10 million

Darnold should be given a chance to start here for the Vikings on a short-team deal with doesn’t really impact Minnesota’s cap situation moving forward. If the Vikings strike gold with Darnold, they probably= can bring him back on a team-friendly extension. If it doesn’t work out, the Vikings can wipe their hands clean of the deal since it’ll roll off the books after a year. There’s really no immense downside here. If Darnold doesn’t pan out, and Minnesota tumbles, it could still be in position to take a quarterback in next year’s draft.
