The Vikings of Minnesota had a bad chance with the quarter-rear JJ McCarthy before his recruit campaign. However, the reverse seems to be true when the 22 -year -old begins to work to prepare for his second NFL season.
Minnesota announced on Monday April 21 that McCarthy was entirely healthy and would participate in all pre-season activities.

“I think he is ready to hit the soil running today”, ” Head coach Kevin O’Connell said, by Kevin Seifert d’Espn.
McCarthy has spent the majority of the last three months working to get a game in the team’s facilities, added Seifert in his report.
Although all this is good news for the Vikings, the team still has a lot of details to settle in the QB room. Namely, he must decide who will serve as a safeguard and almost McCarthy.

O’Connell is a former NFL signal caller himself and one of the best intrigue / offensive calls in the league, so insert a veteran to help McCarthy navigate in what will probably be the starting work is perhaps less important than it would be elsewhere.

However, having an internal veteran which can intervene if McCarthy fights considerably and / or undergoes a new injury is of paramount importance. On Monday, the only other quarter of the list was Rypian Brett.
The Vikings have already succeeded in the opportunity to sign Aaron Rodgers via the Free Agency. However, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported On Monday, the team is back in trade discussions against Kirk Cousins.
Atlanta Falcons seek to move cousins and want the team that acquires it pays $ 20 million out of the $ 37.5 million that Falcons still owe him. Schefter said it was unlikely, but added that the Steelers Vikings and Pittsburgh are potential candidates to recover $ 10 million from the tab.
Cousins knows the O’Connell system and a large part of the list, which would make it a wise choice in Minnesota. However, he also has a non-exchange clause and can choose to cancel a potential meeting if he does not believe that he will get a fair shaking in the QB pre-season battle with McCarthy.
