From the article

McCarthy is under contract for the 2027 NFL season, whereas Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz are not. If the team is ever going to take any actual, serious interest in attempting to develop him, they're going to have to get him reps somehow... Given that McCarthy, Murray, and Wentz all have fairly prolific injury histories, there's a decent chance that all three of them see the field at some point this season, too.

McCarthy's 2027 contract and injury-prone QB room create development and playing-time opportunity

The source argues McCarthy's contract status through 2027 and injury history context (Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz lack guaranteed deals) suggest the Vikings should develop him through practice reps or scout team work; given all three QBs have prolific injury histories, there is a reasonable chance McCarthy sees game action this season.
