Back to EpisodesVikings Plan Veteran QB to Challenge McCarthy
Description
The Minnesota Vikings are planning to bring in a veteran quarterback this offseason to compete with J.J. McCarthy for the starting position in 2026. ESPNs Jeremy Fowler suggests Geno Smith as a potential fit, indicating that the team wants genuine competition but may not be fully convinced of McCarthys readiness. This move is seen as a sign of doubt in McCarthys development, similar to past cases like Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. Fowler believes McCarthy will remain on the roster but faces long odds, as the Vikings hedge their bets without fully committing to their draft pick. As the offseason progresses, more quarterback names may be linked to Minnesota, potentially setting the stage for another quarterback search in 2027 if things dont go as planned.
