Back to EpisodesVikings Name Murray Starting QB, Trade McCarthy
Description
The Minnesota Vikings have signed Kyler Murray, a bargain at $1.3 million, to be their starting quarterback next season. This move comes after spending nearly $350 million last year and passing on pricier options like Kirk Cousins or Aaron Rodgers. Murrays accuracy and arm strength will better feature Justin Jefferson, and the team is also looking to extend Jordan Addisons deal. Meanwhile, rookie J.J. McCarthy, with two guaranteed seasons left on his $22 million deal, could be traded to teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, or Los Angeles Chargers. The Vikings Super Bowl odds have improved from fifty-to-one to forty-four-to-one, and more moves are expected to build around Murray and push for playoffs.
