New York Giants Acquire Quarterback J.J. McCarthy In Trade From Vikings

Following Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee injury, the New York Giants traded a 2027 fifth-round pick to acquire former first-round quarterback J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Jameis Winston will remain the immediate starter while McCarthy learns the playbook. The Giants view McCarthy as an athletic dual-threat scheme fit who will provide crucial depth for the remainder of the season after his turbulent stint in Minnesota.
