Giants linked to Vikings QB bust as 'value' trade target amid Jaxon Dart's injury
This quarterback from the Vikings would make a lot of sense as a buy-low option.
The New York Giants are being linked to J.J. McCarthy, the Minnesota Vikings' quarterback who struggled last season, as they seek trade targets due to Jaxson Dart's injury, which will end his 2026 season. With a pending knee surgery, the Giants are looking for a quarterback option to add behind Jameis Winston. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler proposed McCarthy as a potential candidate, stating that the Vikings' general manager, Jo Schoen, knows the pros and cons of McCarthy's game and believes he could be acquired at a value.
McCarthy's first season as a starter in the NFL was a disappointment, going 6-4 in 10 starts and having a low completion percentage and ratio. Despite his struggles, some believe he still has potential, making him an intriguing option for the Giants who need to bolster their quarterback depth for the upcoming seasons.
