The first domino just fell in the Sam Darnold and Minnesota Vikings' melodrama — The Los Angeles Rams restructured their deal with Matthew Stafford to bring the veteran former Super Bowl winner Matthew Stafford back.

What does this mean for the Minnesota Vikings as they decide on franchise tagging, or even tagging and trading Sam Darnold? 

Matthew Coller of PurpleInsider.com has reported on the Vikings for a decade and was in Indianapolis for the early week of the NFL Combine to gather insight and interviews, and joins John Gaskins to discuss the future of the quarterback and other spots of need for the Vikings during the offseason.

What did Kevin O'Connell's latest remarks about Stafford and J.J. McCarthy reveal about where Minnesota is leaning for its quarterback in 2025 and beyond? What about Daniel Jones? And how will defensive coordinator Brian Flores navigate free agency for proven defensive backs like Cam Bynum and Byron Murphy, Jr.? 

Oh, and how much sense does Mel Kiper's mock draft placement of Pierre native and NDSU product Gray Zabel with the Vikings and the No. 24 overall pick make?
