It has been an fascinating offseason for the Minnesota Vikings, particularly on the quarterback place.
After a 14-3 season, the Vikings misplaced within the first spherical of the NFL playoffs to the Los Angeles Rams. Sam Darnold, who led Minnesota to the postseason because the beginning quarterback, wasn’t re-signed.
The 2024 Professional Bowler was stellar, however the Vikings did not need to ink him to a long-term deal. Additionally they handed on four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, following conversations between the group and the previous Packers participant.
According to reports, Minnesota selected to not signal Rodgers as a result of they imagine J.J. McCarthy, the tenth general decide within the 2024 NFL Draft, will be an efficient signal-caller for them.
It’d appear to be a stretch to decide on to start out McCarthy this season, having simply come off a season-ending damage, as a substitute of choosing Darnold or Rodgers.
But, a brand new report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler explains why.
“Vikings really feel like J.J. McCarthy in Day 9 of those offseason exercises is so much stronger than Day 1,” Fowler explained.
