I'd go for Herbert, but I don't have interest in Mac Jones. Jones is just a game manager; he might not lose you games, but I don't think he wins you any either. Of course you'd think if the Chargers were willing to trade Herbert, the Vikings would have already covered that base, as Jim Harbaugh is probably your first call when trying to trade JJ McCarthy. Clearly Jim wanted him less than his brother did.

Trey Lance only got a 4th. I think that was the absolute best case scenario for the Vikings.
-
I always presumed it was a sham, and I think most of us did. The con being trying to get more than a 5th for McCarthy, which was stupid. Anything less than a 2nd was just wasting time and reps for a pick that doesn't much matter, and McCarthy was NEVER getting a 2nd no matter how he looked in shorts and red jersey touch football.
-
I'll guess it's the Vikings vs the Steelers for Mac Jones, as those are the two teams that are more worried about being bad than they are worried about being good. I hope Pittsburgh wins the bidding. I'm going to go with Jayden Maiava. He's not currently among the top QB prospects for next year, so if that holds, he'd likely fall to whatever range the Vikings are picking. But I also think he's being slept on and will eventually move up those rankings.
-
I would have given him away. To me, the absolute worst case scenario is if McCarthy ended up having to play, and showed JUST ENOUGH so that the Vikings gave him another shot in 2027. Barring a Kyler Murray renaissance, this all but guarantees the Vikings will be looking for a new franchise QB next year. And I don't hate McCarthy. I think he just needs to grow up a bit, learn to play QB instead of rely on his talent and he'll pop up as a decent QB a few years from now. And I'm cheering for him.
-
I bet he doesn't beat out Winston. He couldn't figure out KOCs offense after being in the system for three years, I doubt he's capable of picking up something brand new now.

Sure, Jackson was DUE for regression, meanwhile, Caratini was already in full-blown regression. The Twins picked Caratini over Jackson because they were paying Caratini more.- 44 replies

No star running back, bad offensive line and a QB who can and does use his legs. I wouldn't feel great about Malik Willis avoiding the blue tent too much longer.
-
My heart breaks for all the insufferable Dallas fans.....
-
As much as I'd prefer it, I can't see this team giving Murray only the one game, particularly when next week is the offensively awful Dolphins. And honestly, Murray, Wentz or McCarthy, it probably doesn't much matter if Jefferson is out.
-
He was short on that run. Flores is taking it easy on the rookie. I thought he was going to make him regret stepping on the field.
-
Why did they give them a chance at a return? I'd have just kicked it deep and conceded the 35 yard line.
-
Flores vs. UDFA Rookie QB. Sounds fun, but I'm still not thrilled about any of this.
-
Thumb injury on his throwing hand. Might be dislocated, but it looked kind of floppy, so maybe broken.
-
***Quietly rescinds offer
-
Ugh, I bet we're not going to want to see this replay.
-
I bet Murray gets at least one more start. Not an endorsement.
-
I think McCarthy is the most physically gifted QB, but I don't think he understands the nuances of the position at all. They had to take out all the over the middle passes out of the playbook the last half of 2025 because he couldn't understand timing and couldn't (wouldn't) layer the ball or put any touch on it.
-
Punters too. And GMs. So basically the cheapest parts of the organization to field. I think a team willing to break the mold for some of these things would get an advantage for a short spell until the other teams begrudgingly follow suit.
-
Kicker is still good though.
-
Murray hasn't been good, but this offense is going to look ugly as long as Jefferson is out.
-
Another TB hold. I thought it was going to be a facemask.
-
Well, Teasley only has to be able to draft a franchise QB, a #2 WR and a starting RB in next year's draft. Oh, and interior OL. No pressure though.
-
Wow. How many plays has Mayfield made now, only to get called back for an OL penalty? If TB is regretting giving a 3 year deal to a QB on a bad team, I'd be happy to take him off their hands. Or Justin Herbert. Or Drake Maye.
-
The offense is ugly, Murray isn't getting much done, but I do have to admit that his ability to easily step out of pressure that would bring normal (MN) QBs down is a nice benefit. Someone besides Addison has to start getting open. Jalen Nailor is exactly what this offense needs with Jefferson out.
