Sam Darnold is poised for a major contract boost after earning Pro Bowl honors and leading the Minnesota Vikings toward a potential top NFC seed. However, the specifics of his upcoming deal are still up for discussion.

Darnold’s future with the Vikings could hinge on the team’s financial flexibility, as there may be a threshold where they decide to explore alternative options. According to Spotrac’s Michael Ginnitti, Darnold is expected to receive a substantial one-year, $39 million franchise tag, followed by a four-year, $196 million extension, with $110 million guaranteed.

Despite being on a one-year, $10 million contract, Darnold’s performance has been impressive, especially considering his previous struggles. Ginnitti’s bold prediction would mark a dramatic 207.1% increase in Darnold’s career earnings. If signed, Darnold would become the 10th highest-paid quarterback in the NFL based on average salary.

Darnold’s strong performance has impressed his teammates and coaches alike, with star receiver Justin Jefferson expressing immense pride in his success. “I feel more proud for him to be a Pro Bowler than me,” Jefferson shared, highlighting Darnold’s journey and resilience.

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell has also praised Darnold’s growth, noting his excellent decision-making and leadership. Additionally, Darnold’s connection with quarterbacks coach Josh McCown, who was once his teammate with the New York Jets, is a significant factor in his success. McCown had long recognized Darnold’s talent and potential, even predicting that he would eventually become a Pro Bowler.

As the Vikings head into their final games of the season, Darnold’s future remains a focal point. With his performance exceeding expectations, the Vikings face a crucial decision in securing his services for the long term.
