John Harbaugh on J.J. McCarthy: Really happy to add a strong, young quarterback

New York Giants leader John Harbaugh explained Monday that management exhausted all options to secure a fresh signal-caller following Jaxson Dart suffering a knee injury during the second week of action. That endeavor ultimately resulted in acquiring J.J.

McCarthy via a trade with the Minnesota Vikings that cost the franchise a fifth-round selection.

Harbaugh noted that McCarthy previously worked with his brother Jim at the University of Michigan prior to becoming an initial-round selection in 2024. Jameis Winston keeps the starting duties for the upcoming fourth week, while the coaching staff evaluates how swiftly the newcomer can master the playbook.
