The Minnesota Vikings have one option with Sam Darnold that everyone can't stop talking about - the tag and trade. But I don't think it's so great of an idea. Here's why. Plus, I break down listener submitted hot takes.

Introducing Shedeur Sanders WON'T THROW at NFL Combine, Giants Matthew Stafford Choice & New York Jets Trade Up from Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League.

Follow the show: Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

The NFL Combine kicks off this week and all eyes will be on the top quarterback prospects, Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward, but it appears neither will do on-field work including throwing drills. While it is a bummer to fans, it should not be viewed as a negative against the players' draft stock. However, teams may factor it into their decisions and teams like the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets will all have to decide whether grabbing a veteran or making a move up in the NFL Draft is the right decision at quarterback. The Giants may have to decide between a rookie or Matthew Stafford.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford is reportedly on the trade block -- could the Minnesota Vikings take a stab at the veteran? Also, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O'Connell will speak at the NFL Combine on Tuesday -- what will they say? Plus, more free agency talk, combine preview, and draft prospect discussion on the latest Minnesota Football Party with Arif Hasan, Luke Inman, Luke Braun and Sam Ekstrom.

#minnesotavikings

The Los Angeles Rams have allowed Matthew Stafford to seek a trade partner. Could that trade partner be the Vikings? I'm not so sure - but let's give this devil its due.

Introducing Matthew Stafford TRADE TALKS INTENSIFY, New Saints are Old Chargers & QBs at NFL Combine from Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League.

Follow the show: Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

The Los Angeles Rams have given Matthew Stafford and his team permission to seek a trade with a new contract and while it seems like that makes a split between the two parties more likely, it actually makes it less likely. However, if the Rams do trade Stafford, the Steelers, Giants and Vikings make sense. The New Orleans Saints hired their new defensive coordinator in Brandon Staley, but it feels like a re-hash of the 2023 Los Angeles Chargers...because it is! The Jacksonville Jaguars hired their new general manager in James Gladstone and Gladstone may be a hit, but it is hard to have faith in Jacksonville. Finally, the NFL Combine kicks off this week and all eyes will be on the top quarterbacks Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders.

Introducing Philadelphia Eagles BAD HIRE at OC, New York Giants Matthew Stafford Trade & Commanders Splash Move from Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League.

Follow the show: Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a Super Bowl championship and that comes with a talent drain. How you replace the lost talent is what determines your ability to bounce back, but the Eagles and Nick Sirianni have made the same mistake they did in 2023. The New York Giants need to win now and trading for a veteran quarterback is the quickest way to do so. With Matthew Stafford rumored to be on the market, the Giants seem like a perfect fit in a trade. The Washington Commanders need to make a big move while their window is open and the Dallas Cowboys have finally done something they rarely do, be boring.
