Minnesota Vikings have been one of the most pleasant surprises in all the NFL this season. And in a few months, no one should be surprised by the contract quarterback Sam Darnold will be able to fetch.

In crunch time, Darnold got the ball back with 4 minutes, 21 seconds left, trailing and needing to go the length of the field.

There may be some method to the madness of the Minnesota Vikings potentially letting Sam Darnold walk after this season. It would involve him getting the franchise tag and then being traded away to another NFL franchise.
