New Giants Trade Rumors and J.J. McCarthy Link Leak as Jameis Winston Replaces Injured Jaxson Dart

The New York Giants are reportedly expected to add a veteran quarterback to the roster after Jaxson Dart was lost for the season due to a knee injury.

According to Tom Pelissero of The Ringer, league sources believe "it's a matter of when, not if, the Giants add another passer with starting experience, potentially as soon as Monday."

Pelissero added that Giants general manager Joe Schoen has been "working the phones" in search of some insurance behind Jameis Winston, who is set to start while Dart is on the shelf.

Pelissero specifically mentioned Minnesota Vikings No. 3 quarterback J.J. McCarthy as an "intriguing" option, as the Giants scouted him ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, and McCarthy played collegiately at Michigan under Jim Harbaugh, who is Giants head coach John Harbaugh's brother.
