Vikings Reaffirm Commitment to J.J. McCarthy as Starting QB Plan for 2025

Minnesota's GM confirms focus on McCarthy's development while leaving the door open for potential veteran additions, including Aaron Rodgers.

J.J. McCarthy has declared himself fully recovered from his 2024 knee injury and is preparing to compete for the starting quarterback role in 2025.
Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah stated that the team expects McCarthy to take over as the starting quarterback, though he has not been officially named QB1.
The team has rejected trade offers for McCarthy and expressed confidence in his progress, emphasizing his potential as a long-term solution.
While the Vikings explored signing Aaron Rodgers, they decided against pursuing him at this time but have not ruled out revisiting the option later in the offseason.
Minnesota plans to add a veteran quarterback to provide depth and competition, with potential candidates including Ryan Tannehill and Joe Flacco.
