Giants acquire quarterback J.J. McCarthy after Vikings move on
Original: The Vikings were finished with J.J. McCarthy. So why did the Giants want him? https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7640655/2
The Minnesota Vikings have parted ways with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, and the New York Giants have brought him in, according to reporting by The Athletic. The move is raising questions because Minnesota had apparently given up on the young quarterback, yet the Giants still saw enough to trade for him. Fans and analysts are debating what the Giants see in McCarthy and what his arrival means for their quarterback situation.
Why now: A division-rival quarterback changing teams in a trade always sparks debate about whether the acquiring team overpaid or found a bargain.
