Retired New York Giants WR Victor Cruz believes Sam Darnold could solve the team’s quarterback problems in 2025.

A New York Giants great urged his former team to make a sound decision at quarterback ahead of the 2025 NFL season. The Giants own the No. 3 pick in the

The Vikings could bring back the 27-year-old, but other teams will likely be interested, too. Here's who could be in the market for the QB.

The Titans and Browns are best positioned for Sanders and Ward given that they hold the draft’s No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively. But the Raiders are in an equally dire situation to the Giants, and the Jets, Steelers, Colts and Saints all could make big changes, too.

It’s a near-lock that the Giants will draft a quarterback this year. They haven’t drafted one since Daniel Jones in 2019, so they’re overdue to take the bat off their shoulder. But it’s possible they don’t take a quarterback with the No. 3 pick, which I believe is the premise of your question.

As the New York Giants look ahead to the NFL Draft in possibly looking for their quarterback of the future, there is some speculation that they can look to free agency and sign a veteran like Sam Darnold. With the Giants looking to free agency to address some deficiencies, there are some who warn the team about going for a quarterback like Darnold.

The Minnesota Vikings had an exceptional 2024 regular season in large part because Sam Darnold had a career year. The former No. 3 pick proved that he's more than capable of being a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Sam Darnold should hit free agency this spring, and the Giants are listed as the team most likely to sign him.

And then, not long afterward, the 2025 offseason will get underway with what could be a big wave of big-name activity at the position. Several high-profile starters are on track to become free agents in March,

As such, Benjamin Solak of ESPN listed the Giants as among the top suitors for Darnold even if Sanders or Ward falls to them at No. 3 -- in part because Darnold may be the best player the organization can acquire and because despite all the hope they bring, rookie quarterbacks come saddled with just as much uncertainty.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold just put together the best season of his seven-year NFL career. After struggling with the New York Jets, who drafted him third overall in 2018, and bouncing around with the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers, it seemed like he would be a career backup.
