McCarthy because of an injury. Fast forward to the 2025 Draft and Schoen moved up into the bottom of the first round to draft Jaxson Dart. McCarthy became the Vikings starter (over Sam Darnold, whom Minnesota let walk to Seattle where he led them to a Super Bowl title). Meanwhile, multiple injuries limited McCarthy to 10 starts, and by this spring he had lost his job to Kyler Murray.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

McCarthy's injury history and job loss to Kyler Murray preceded his low-cost trade to the Giants.

McCarthy was drafted 10th overall by the Vikings in 2024 but never played a down for them due to injury; multiple injuries limited him to 10 starts in 2024, and he lost his job to Kyler Murray by spring 2025 before being traded to the Giants for a Round 5 pick.
