**”Vikings Face $41.3 Million Dilemma: Will They Franchise Tag Sam Darnold in 2025?”**
The Minnesota Vikings’ looming decision about Sam Darnold’s future remains a hot topic, with the team’s franchise tag window now officially open. If the Vikings opt to tag the quarterback, it would cost a staggering **$41.3 million** for 2025—a massive jump from his $10 million salary in 2024.
The franchise tag value, calculated as the average of the top three salaries at the position, reflects Darnold’s potential price tag. However, ESPN’s Kevin Seifert reported Tuesday that Minnesota is in **“no rush”** to make a move, suggesting the team may weigh other options first. With Darnold’s inconsistent track record and the Vikings’ long-term QB plans still unclear, the decision could define their offseason strategy.
Stay tuned as the clock ticks on one of the NFL’s most pivotal financial gambles.
