John Harbaugh expressed his enthusiasm about the New York Giants acquiring J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings. The trade involved the Giants sending a 2027 fifth-round draft pick to Minnesota. Speaking at a press conference, Harbaugh stated he was "really glad, really happy, very excited to have JJ McCarthy." He praised McCarthy's talent and experience, noting the 23-year-old passer was a high draft pick and a strong young quarterback.
The move came after Giants' starting QB Jaxson Dart injured his knee in Week 2, leaving the team to seek additional quarterback help. Harbaugh mentioned the team checked "every stone" before selecting McCarthy. The trade also carries a personal significance for Harbaugh, as McCarthy's college years were spent under his brother Jim Harbaugh at Michigan.
However, despite the trade, Harbaugh is not immediately handing McCarthy the starting job. Jameis Winston will start the Week 4 game against the Arizona Cardinals, having led the Giants to a victory in their previous game. McCarthy, starting his NFL career, will need time to get comfortable in the Giants' offense.
