J.J. McCarthy experiment unraveled after only 10 starts in Minnesota; can QB pick up the pieces with Giants?

Minnesota has parted ways with J.J. McCarthy after just ten starts, trading the former tenth overall draft selection to New York in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2027 draft.

The Vikings organization decided to move forward following a stretch that included Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz on the depth chart, while the Giants acquired the young passer as a replacement after losing Jaxson Dart for the remainder of the year. During his collegiate career at Michigan, McCarthy directed an undefeated, championship-winning campaign with high efficiency, though scouts noted that his collegiate offense rarely demanded the heavy passing volume typically expected in the professional ranks.
