Vikings QB Sam Darnold was on his way to a big payday this offseason. But two bad games may have cost him his job — and millions.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold's future with the team was in question after Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the playoffs.

After his best season as a pro, Darnold was off his game for a second straight week. How will it impact Minnesota's offseason plans?

Kevin O'Connell had several explanations for Darnold's brutal playoff loss to the Rams and very few hints about where the QB position is headed.

With all due respect to the stupid (and desperate) NFL team that will eventually give Sam Darnold a Brink’s Truck of money this offseason — I urge you to reconsider. Monday night’s Minnesota Vikings wild-card loss to the Los Angeles Rams was a microcosm of Darnold’s inherent flaws as a difference-making quarterback. Proceed with caution.
