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

A New York Giants great urged his former team to make a sound decision at quarterback ahead of the 2025 NFL season. The Giants own the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. After their quarterback room crumbled midseason,

Despite the difficult end to the 2024 season, Sam Darnold's overall performance is likely to result in him receiving a nice contract in free agency

The Minnesota Vikings had an exceptional 2024 regular season in large part because Sam Darnold had a career year. The former No. 3 pick proved that he's more than capable of being a starting quarterback in the NFL.

The Titans and Browns are best positioned for Sanders and Ward given that they hold the draft’s No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively. But the Raiders are in an equally dire situation to the Giants, and the Jets, Steelers, Colts and Saints all could make big changes, too.

It’s a near-lock that the Giants will draft a quarterback this year. They haven’t drafted one since Daniel Jones in 2019, so they’re overdue to take the bat off their shoulder. But it’s possible they don’t take a quarterback with the No. 3 pick, which I believe is the premise of your question.

As the New York Giants look ahead to the NFL Draft in possibly looking for their quarterback of the future, there is some speculation that they can look to free agency and sign a veteran like Sam Darnold. With the Giants looking to free agency to address some deficiencies, there are some who warn the team about going for a quarterback like Darnold.

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.

Martin followed, “I want no part of this place.” Darnold was the Jets’ first-round pick (No. 3 overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft. He played three seasons in New York before being traded to the Carolina Panthers for a 2021 sixth-round pick, a 2022 second-round pick, and a fourth-round pick in 2022.

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,

The Minnesota Vikings are expected to consider replacing Sam Darnold with former New York Giants starting QB Daniel Jones.
