McCarthy trade"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Ringer\u2019s Tom Pelissero broke the news that the New York Giants are trading for Minnesota Vikings backup J.J. McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninersnation.com\/san-francisco-49ers-rumors\/163297\/49ers-mac-jones-is-among-the-5-quarterbacks-the-giants-are-considering-after-jaxson-darts-injury\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reports surfaced<\/a> on Sunday that the Giants were interested in San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones, but there were three other quarterbacks: McCarthy, Jones, Jimmy Garoppolo, Justin Fields, and Gardner Minshew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Giants\u2019 offensive coordinator, Matt Nagy, had a chance to select Jones in 2021 while coaching the Chicago Bears, but passed. He passed again on Jones, this time for another first-rounder who should never have been selected that high to begin with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Giants gave up a fifth-round pick for McCarthy, who was drafted in 2024. We\u2019ll never know what the 49ers\u2019 asking price is for Jones when he was on the hypothetical trade block last year, but we may find out if there are any other QB-needy teams during the next month and a half.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">It\u2019ll likely take an injury at the position, or a team that wasn\u2019t a contender emerges. Until then, Jones remains on the 49ers\u2019 roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ringer\u2019s Tom Pelissero broke the news that the New York Giants are trading for Minnesota Vikings backup&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":359600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10,133788],"class_list":["post-359599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-san-francisco-49ers-rumors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=359599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/359600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
