The Minnesota Vikings have made one of the most important decisions for the organization, as the franchise's head coach, Kevin O'Connell, announced Kyler Murray as the Week 1 starting quarterback, thus leaving J.J. McCarthy in an uncertain position.
Although the quarterback has lost the starting job to Murray, the head coach insisted that McCarthy still has a future in Minnesota, and the organization looks forward to working with him.
In a recent episode of Pro Football Talk, ******* yst Mike Florio shared his thoughts, as he believes that McCarthy might be cut from the Vikings' roster, and said:
"Two weeks ago, Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy lost the starting job to Kyler Murray.
Now, McCarthy could be on the verge of losing the backup job to Carson Wentz.The two split reps at practice for the second team on Tuesday.And the Vikings have to ultimately fill out the depth chart. Coach Kevin O'Connell has left the door open to the possibility of the backup quarterback job being available to either guy.And if McCarthy should somehow fail to be QB2, with the roster cuts coming, it's possible that McCarthy won't be a Viking come next Monday. Whether it's because he's traded or whether because they decided to just eat the remainder of his guaranteed salary through 2027 and release him."
If J.J. McCarthy loses the QB2 spot to Carson Wentz, will McCarthy be on the team after the roster reduces to 53? pic.twitter.com/vdL7Z7EGM5
