Summary

The Minnesota Vikings have a big decision with Sam Darnold as the Franchise Tag window opens, but it sounds like they have already made up their mind and will let Darnold walk. This is the nice thing to do, but poor management of a valuable asset. Staying in the NFC North, the Detroit Lions saw a mass exodus on their coaching staff, but they still have a great roster of players. The Lions need to lean into that and trade for Myles Garrett. The Green Bay Packers need to take similar advice and consider bringing back Davante Adams at wide receiver. Finally, the Chicago Bears should get a huge bump from Ben Johnson and the Vikings' entire season depends on J.J. McCarthy.
