The quarterback situation in Minnesota has been very fluid this offseason, as the Vikings went out and signed Kyler Murray to a one-year deal. The expectation around the league was that Murray was brought to push J.J. McCarthy in training camp for the starting spot. However, fans believe it is a foregone conclusion that Murray will start in 2026.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano is hearing that a trade is not likely, as the franchise still believes in him long term.
"People I've talked to who are close to this situation insist that the Vikings haven't given up on McCarthy -- that part of their hope is bringing in Murray sends some sort of shock to McCarthy's system and gets him refocused on whatever they think he got away from last year. It's probably a long shot, but again, there doesn't seem to be much they would gain from trading him at this point."
If this is the case, where does this leave McCarthy? The idea of trading McCarthy is certainly tempting, as they could look to recoup picks heading into a loaded draft class in 2027.
