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

An NFL writer explained why it's "easy to envision" former New York Giants QB Daniel Jones taking over a specific starting role in 2025.

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,

ESPN's Benjamin Solak recently named the Las Vegas Raiders as among the most likely destinations for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold, but that doesn't mean they're going to acquire him. Darnold can extend in Minnesota prior to March,
