Could the Vikings trade for a QB inside the NFC North?
· Yahoo Sports
The Minnesota Vikings and their quarterback discussion are not going anywhere anytime soon.
First-year starter J.J. McCarthy had a rollercoaster 2025 season, highlighted by poor play and injuries, which prevented him from proving himself. Production value aside, McCarthy's unavailability is perhaps his biggest drawback for the 2026 season.

But perhaps the team could find their answer from a familiar foe in the Chicago Bears. Their general manager, Ryan Poles, spoke to the media this week and said they have received calls from teams interested in backup quarterback Tyson Bagent.
Poles told the media this week, "Obviously the tough thing is with what Ben (Johnson) thinks about Tyson, what I think about Tyson, what our locker room thinks about Tyson, but for Tyson as well, he would have an opportunity to go and perform for a team and do some really good things."
Bagent started four times in 2023 when he took over for Justin Fields during that season. He managed to pass for only three touchdowns and five interceptions, but he showed some promise as a project for the Bears. Being a project could make him a perfect backup for Kevin O'Connell as the team looks for security behind J.J. McCarthy.
