Why JJ McCarthy would be PERFECT for the Cleveland Browns in Kevin Stefanski’s offense
JJ McCarthy was drafted 10th overall by the Minnesota Vikings in last year’s draft and never saw the field officially during his rookie campaign due to injury. The Vikings turned to veteran QB Sam Darnold without much expectation of how well he would play and how their season would turn out. Fast forward, the Minnesota Vikings will play their week 18 matchup with the opportunity to be the #1 overall seed in the NFC, a team led by Sam Darnold.
Darnold is in the midst of a career year in Minnesota, and though he’s scheduled to become a free agent this offseason, many believe that Sam Darnold could cash in on a huge payday despite having rookie JJ McCarthy on their roster and waiting in the wings.
This leads to the question: Should the Cleveland Browns consider a trade for JJ McCarthy if the Minnesota Vikings would entertain it?

Browns trying to secure the top pick. Don't mess up the draft pick.
Oh boy. Stop with the old arse Cousins reunion lol. The front office and, majority of the coaching staff including Preventski need fire now. 😂
Most teams build around there qb….but not the Cleveland Clowns. Nah. The Cleveland Clowns say we're going to build around our head coach that only had 2 winning seasons out of five 🤣🤣🤣
Gentlemen just sign Justin fields and put him in Stefanski’s system. Build around the defensive line and oline. Draft Milroe in the 3rd round, b/c he’ll fall that far. We need Carter from PSU or Graham from Xichigan, also need a running back and tight end this year. We need to get back to 12 personnel. We need an actual slot receiver like restrapo Miami. Iowa’s MLB is a solid day 3 guy if not late day 2. Georgia safety played like crap against Notre Dame.
This is absurd, there is no way that the Vikings are going to give up the future of their organization to the Browns. Instead of trying to steal a player from some other team, why not just draft and develop their own quarterback. There is no shortcuts for longterm success, as we have discovered the last 3 years.
Vikings aren't going to save us. JJ is going nowhere.
only if direct swap with Greg Newsome
I'd rather have JJ McCarthy then picking a Sanders, Cam Ward, or Gabriel in the 1st round. Trade for JJ, take Travis Hunter if he's there.
We were correct on Sam Darnold over Faker McBusterfield after all heheh
Berry needs to see if 2x HC of the Year can savage Zach Wilson
An unproven rookie with a season ending injury HECK NO 😂
No one wants old Kirk,we need to go back to the playbook Kevin was having at least some success with and draft and develop a QB,i do agree get rid of everyone in the QB room DTR,zappe, Winston and Watson
Get #1, trade down and grab DL OL
Jj McCarthy? Nope, I'm not feeling that. Besides, he would be coming off of an injury.
You cannot outscore those AFC QBs…you need to limit them with defense
Yeah this is NUTTY asf… Michigan player's never pan out in Cleveland through out the years except Leroy Hoard wtf
The Gm has a relationship with the Vikings also, makes the most sense.
"We need to remember he's a human being"- Earl. Ummm. What else did you think he is. Really? I'll wait….🤔
It makes no sense people don't want Ward or Sanders but would want McCarthy although the other 2 are light years better. COCAINE IS A HELL OF A DRUG
Why not just pickup Kirk Cousins in free agency to bridge the gap for a couple seasons. Not the best situation but not the worst.
we are not getting jj 😂😂 we going to bring in a vet or draft a qb or both and watson will be on the roster next year and will show up as a pro
