Quarterback Sam Darnold is coming off his best year in the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings, completing 361-of-454 passes for 4,319 yards, 35 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and a 102.5 passer rating. However, without an extension in place, he's set to hit free agency and allowed to sign with a new team starting on March 12.

According to a new report from ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, the Vikings are “open” to a new deal for Darnold, who played on a one-year contract this past season. But the Vikings will not “mortgage” their future for his services. “I’m told the Minnesota Vikings are open to doing a deal with Sam Darnold,” started Fowler.
