Vikings Secure Rookie QB J.J. McCarthy with Four-Year Deal

Minnesota finalizes contract with 10th overall pick, positioning him as future franchise quarterback

J.J. McCarthy signs a fully guaranteed four-year contract worth $21.85 million, including a $12.71 million signing bonus.
The Vikings moved up in the draft to select McCarthy, aiming to fill the void left by Kirk Cousins' departure.
McCarthy, a national champion at Michigan, will start as a backup to veteran Sam Darnold.
Minnesota's strong offensive lineup is expected to support McCarthy's transition to the NFL.
Only two first-round picks from the 2024 draft remain unsigned.
