One of quarterback Sam Darnold’s 12 completions to lead the Vikings back from a 13-point deficit late in the third quarter of Sunday’s victory over the Arizona Cardinals might best illustrate the progress he’s made through 12 games leading the offense.

Not everyone thinks that should be the approach. On ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, former QB Alex Smith said he thinks the Vikings should be looking to sign Darnold long-term.

Could the Vikings aim to re-sign the 27-year-old quarterback, who has played so well in leading them to a 10-2 record, this offseason?
