Will the Vikings go with experience or start fresh at quarterback this upcoming season? See what the odds say about their Week 1 starter.
There is indeed a quarterback competition in Minnesota. The Vikings have undergone a makeover to their QB room this offseason. Longtime signal-caller Kirk Cousins — he spent the past six seasons in Minnesota — bolted to Atlanta in free agency, and with that, the Vikings signed veteran QB Sam Darnold to a one-year deal and drafted Michigan standout J.J. McCarthy with the 10th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Sam Darnold, -200 J.J. McCarthy, +150 First to Darnold. The former No. 3 pick is only 26 years old and will now suit up for his fourth team in seven years. He played last season in San Francisco, starting one game for the 49ers — a 21-20 Week 18 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in what was a meaningless game in terms of playoff standings. After starting 49 games during his first four seasons, Darnold started six games for the Panthers in 2022 before that Week 18 start last season.
