Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is cooking with signings of Sam Darnold and Aaron Jones

While most of the United States of America was sleeping, the Minnesota Vikings and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah weren’t. They were making moves.

Around midnight central time, the Vikings reached an agreement with former third overall pick quarterback Sam Darnold on a one-year, $10 million contract. They followed it up by agreeing to terms with former XFL kicker John Parker Romo and running back Aaron Jones the following morning.

It was a monumental 24 hours for the Vikings as they try and build a championship roster. What do these signings tell us about the long-term prospects of the Vikings?

  • How good can Sam Darnold be in this offense? Is this the best supporting cast he’s ever had?
  • Are there more players the Vikings will sign at the kicker position?
  • Is Jones washed or is there a lot of juice left in the tank?

We are here to break it all down and more on the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, airing Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 pm central on the Vikings 1st & SKOL YouTube channel.
