The Rush Radio Show, powered by Willis Automotive, with Travis Justice and Ross Peterson, Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
Former Minnesota Vikings first-round pick J.J. McCarthy has been traded to the New York Giants. McCarthy started 10 games for Minnesota in a career marked by injuries.
The Giants will give Minnesota a fifth-round pick in the 2027 draft, showing how much McCarthy’s value has dropped.
Right now, McCarthy is a major bust. But he’s only 23, which means the Giants could be a lifeline for his career. The Giants need quarterback help after Jaxson Dart was injured and is out for the rest of the season. Jameis Winston is currently starting for New York.
