Giants trade for J.J. McCarthy after losing quarterback Jaxson Dart

The New York Giants have acquired quarterback J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick. This trade follows Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee injury, prompting the Giants to seek a new option under center. With McCarthy, drafted in 2024, joining the team, he adds competition to the quarterback position alongside Jameis Winston. The Giants face the Philadelphia Eagles twice this season, which will require adjustments for their game planning as they prepare for those matchups while figuring out McCarthy’s integration into the offense under head coach John Harbaugh.
