Vikings Get Insider Update on J.J. McCarthy Trade Outlook

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has emerged as a subject of trade speculation following early-season quarterback injuries and poor performances across the NFL. NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported on September 23 that while head coach Kevin O'Connell values quarterback depth, there is likely a price at which Minnesota would consider moving on from McCarthy.

McCarthy is slated to serve as the third-string quarterback behind starter Kyler Murray and backup Carson Wentz. Media commentators have floated potential landing spots for a possible trade, including the New York Giants following a season-ending knee injury to Jaxson Dart, as well as the Atlanta Falcons.
