J.J. McCarthy trade grades as Giants, Vikings swing QB deal

Following a season-ending injury to their starting quarterback Jaxson Dart, the New York Giants traded a 2027 fifth-round draft pick to the Minnesota Vikings for signal-caller J.J. McCarthy on Monday, September 28.

Giants coach John Harbaugh stated the club would examine all options, leading to the acquisition of the former No. 10 overall selection, who joins a roster where veteran Jameis Winston remains the starter for now under coordinator Matt Nagy.

McCarthy endured a turbulent first professional campaign marked by erratic decision-making and injuries that ultimately cost him his starting job in Minnesota. Meanwhile, the Vikings completely moved on from the young passer after a difficult tenure at the helm of their offense.
