McCarthy: Trade Shock, Opportunity for Giants

J.J. McCarthy described his trade to the Giants as a shock but an opportunity to revive his NFL career after things soured with the Vikings.

McCarthy, a 2024 first-round pick, acknowledged his time in Minnesota didn't go as planned but is determined to make the most of his situation with the Giants. 'When I got the call here, it was a shock. I didn't anticipate it, but at the end of the day, it's an opportunity,' he said.

The Giants acquired McCarthy as they plan to move forward without Jaxson Dart for the rest of the season, though it remains unclear if he'll back up Jameis Winston this Sunday against the Cardinals. betsport.cv
