It finally happened, and it's a good thing for the Minnesota Vikings. And fomer Vikings linebacker (current radio analyst) Ben Leber called it on the second-ever episode of Happy Hour with John Gaskins, back in mid-December — before the debacles against the Rams and Lions, when it appeared the Vikings would be foolish to let Darnold go.

They have moved on from free agent Sam Darnold, who moves on to a 3-year, $100.5 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks ($55 million guaranteed). This ushers in the J.J. McCarthy era and, almost as important, frees up space to sign free agents in spots of need, which the Vikings reportedly already have done (Aaron Jones, Theo Jackson).

John Gaskins explains why letting Darnold walk was the right move, what to expect out of the great unknown McCarthy, and why Daniel Jones should stay put in Minnesota.
