J.J. McCarthy has been traded from the Minnesota Vikings to the New York Giants, in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick. This move reflects a decline in McCarthy's value since being drafted. He is one of four first-round quarterbacks in the last 25 years to start 10 or fewer games for their original team. McCarthy may have an opportunity to start for the Giants due to Jaxson Dart's absence and unimpressive play from Jameis Winston.
