Summary

The Vikings bid farewell to three quarterbacks, including veteran Sam Darnold, who struggled to retain Rodgers' interest. They opted for J.J. McCarthy, the No. 10 pick in the 2024 draft, after recovering from an injury. McCarthy regained his weight and remains confident in his ability despite a challenging season, with a focus on progression and competition within the team's strong support system.
