It is going to be “very difficult” for Minnesota to retain Sam Darnold Darnold, who is set to be an UFA, after this season, according to Jordan Schultz. Baker Mayfield’s contract (3 years, $100M) is the expected value for Darnold this offseason, per Schultz. “I think it’s very realistic,... even if they win the division, that Sam would walk, and that they would have JJ McCarthy, under that cheap rookie contract… and then you bring back Daniel Jones.” 🎥: Herd w/Colin Cowherdshow more

@Schultz_Report Do none of these “media members” know why we got rid of Kirk Cousins? Jesus

@Schultz_Report hope a tag and trade, JJ is the future. that said would not hate another year or two

@Schultz_Report They could give Darnold $100/3 and still be average payroll at quarterback position… You don’t let a 27 year old walk away in his prime…do you?

@Schultz_Report Wont matter if we win it all... Skol

@Schultz_Report Yeap that's exactly how I picture it playing out, just hope Sammy boy heads somewhere with structure

@Schultz_Report Which team do you think he goes too? Giants? Raiders? Saints? Steelers? Not a lot of great options for him. No brainer for him to go to Rams if Stafford retires but nothing indicates he will.

@Schultz_Report This was always the plan bro. Idk why people though Minnesota was gonna sign Sam long term

@Schultz_Report Ummm…we don’t want a long term contract with Darnold.

@Schultz_Report That’s why we got Jones…. I feel like that was pretty obvious lol

@Schultz_Report They weren’t ever going to retain him so sweet useless report by Schultz Talking to talk
