Vikings send J.J. McCarthy to the Giants for a 2027 fifth-round pick
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Minnesota Vikings have traded the tenth overall pick in the 2024 draft to the New York Giants in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick.
- The Giants need a quarterback due to Jaxson Dart's knee injury, which will sideline him for the rest of the regular season; currently, Jameis Winston is the starter with Jake Haener as backup.
- J.J. McCarthy, who lost the starting job in Minnesota and fell to third on the depth chart, is now joining the Giants, reuniting with coach John Harbaugh, who coached against him at Michigan.
- McCarthy's playing time with the Giants will depend on Winston's health and performance moving forward.
