Vikings set condition for potential J.J. McCarthy trade ahead of deadline

The Minnesota Vikings are considering trades for quarterback J.J. McCarthy as teams inquire about his availability, according to KOA Radio’s Benjamin Allbright. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Vikings would entertain a deal if they receive a strong draft pick. McCarthy is currently positioned as the third-string quarterback behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. He did not play in the recent preseason finale due to an ankle injury but was aiming to demonstrate his value in that game. As final roster cuts approach, the Vikings have until Sunday to finalize their decisions on McCarthy and the quarterback position.
