McCarthy, the 10th overall pick in 2024 out of Michigan, missed his entire rookie season with injury. When he returned in 2025, he started 10 games, and though he flashed some talent, finished with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The team had more success when Wentz was under center.

McCarthy's 11 TDs, 12 INTs in 10 starts fuel Vikings trade speculation.

Recent first-round pick (10th overall in 2024) missed entire rookie season with injury; returned in 2025 and started 10 games but finished with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, with the Vikings having more success when Carson Wentz was under center. Speculation mounts that Minnesota Vikings are prepared to part with McCarthy, with people who cover the team suspecting a trade or outright release if no trade partner is found. The source notes that while McCarthy would be a scary option as a backup due to his poor play in the NFL so far, he would be a better backup option than Stetson Bennett for the Rams.
