The New York Giants have acquired quarterback J.J. McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick, according to multiple outlets. One source indicated Minnesota is also sending the 10th pick in the 2024 draft to New York as part of the deal, though this detail was not confirmed across all reporting.
The trade comes after Giants starting quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending knee injury. McCarthy, a former first-round pick, had been buried on the Vikings roster and will now join a Giants quarterback room looking for depth at the position.
