A trade pitch would see the Minnesota Vikings flip rookie QB J.J. McCarthy to the Giants in return for a first-round pick and then some.

That the Giants could potentially seek a trade to find their franchise quarterback is a reflection of the lukewarm view of this year’s draft class.

Even though his last start against the Detroit Lions was a bit rocky, Sam Darnold is enjoying a career year with the Minnesota Vikings. All signs point to the former No. 3 overall pick returning in 2025, but to do so, the Vikings will have to negotiate a new contract with him, or place the franchise tag on their starting quarterback.

Although Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy hasn't taken a snap, he continues to be the subject of trade rumors.
