Sam Darnold`s departure from the Minnesota Vikings is now confirmed, as the team shifts its focus to other quarterback options, including the possibility of re-signing Daniel Jones. This decision marks a significant change for the Vikings as they look to solidify their roster ahead of the upcoming season.

In a notable trade, Geno Smith has been acquired by the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2025 third-round draft pick. This move adds depth to the Raiders` quarterback position and signals their intent to compete in the highly competitive AFC West.
