What to know

  • Giants send a 2027 fifth-round pick to Minnesota for J.J. McCarthy, the No. 10 pick in the 2024 draft.
  • Move comes days after starter Jaxson Dart had season-ending left knee surgery, leaving Jameis Winston and unproven Jake Haener as the only other QBs on New York's roster.
  • McCarthy had fallen to third string in Minnesota behind newly signed Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz.
  • Trade is pending McCarthy passing a physical; it is unclear yet whether he or Winston will start for New York.

“The Giants made the aggressive move days after Jaxson Dart had surgery on his left knee that will sideline him for at least the rest of the regular season.”
