The Minnesota Vikings offense is going to look very different in 2025. Last season, Sam Darnold turned into one of the league’s biggest stories when head coach Kevin O’Connell turned the 27-year-old into a Pro Bowler in 2024. Well, that breakout season came at just the right time as the former first-round pick was able to land a new three-year, $100 million deal in free agency. But it wasn’t with the Vikes and instead he will be the starting QB for the Seattle Seahawks in 2025.

Furthermore, late-season backup Daniel Jones is also heading elsewhere after getting a new multi-year deal and a chance to compete for the QB1 spot with the Indianapolis Colts. That is why Tom Pelissero reported on Tuesday, 2024 first-round pick JJ McCarthy is expected to be the Minnesota Vikings starting QB next season.

But with just one NFL season under his belt, and most of it spent rehabbing a torn meniscus, McCarthy needs a veteran QB to help mentor him through his first year as a starter. With that in mind, here are five vets the team could target in free agency this month.
