Whether the J.J. McCarthy era in Minnesota will begin in Week 1 of the 2025 season remains to be seen. <\/p>\n
But as general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said, \u201cIf that\u2019s the course of action we decide, we\u2019ll go in there confidently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adofo-Mensah fielded a slew of questions about the Vikings\u2019 offseason plans from members of the media on Thursday. <\/p>\n
Sam Darnold is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2025 while McCarthy missed the entire season due to a knee injury he suffered in preseason.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s on the field, throwing and training,\u201d Adofo-Mensah said of McCarthy. \u201cHe looks great. He\u2019s excited \u2026 You talk about a kid who\u2019s just obsessed with football and loves being around the game. So, we\u2019re excited about what we have in him. We\u2019re excited for this offseason for him. It\u2019s a big offseason. And then, we\u2019ll continue from there.<\/p>\n
\u201c[2024 was something of] a redshirt year \u2026 but mentally, [we were] talking about how much he learned this year compared to other years in his football life [and he says it was] exponential, which you would expect for a young player in this building.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adofo-Menssah stopped just short of declaring that the Vikings are ready to thrust the 21-year-old into the starting role.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really confident in him \u2014 his work ethic, and his preparation \u2026 but I can\u2019t sit here and tell you I know anything for certain,\u201d Adofo-Mensah said. \u201cI know that I\u2019m willing to believe in the person that we have. That position is about talent and preparation \u2014 and he\u2019s got those things in spades.\u201d<\/p>\n
McCarthy\u2019s injury paved the way for Darnold to win the starting job. <\/p>\n
With Darnold under center throughout the 2024 season, Minnesota won 14 games \u2014 the most for a Vikings team since 1998. <\/p>\n
Darnold, at times, looked so good that pundits began theorizing the team would be fielding offers on their injured rookie.<\/p>\n
That idea might have made sense before the NFC wild-card game, but with Darnold\u2019s disastrous play in the team\u2019s 27-9 loss to the Rams, it now seems more far-fetched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
