Rest in Peace: Today is the Burial Day for the Minnesota Vikings Key Player Who Died in a Car Accident.

Who would have thought that the Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos would develop such a casual, unwritten rivalry in the 2024 offseason? When Sean Payton revealed his involvement in spreading rumors that the Broncos intended to move up in the 2024 NFL Draft, possibly for JJ McCarthy, Vikings fans reacted defensively. Despite the rumors being false, Vikings supporters were upset by the suggestion that Sean Payton was mocking them for considering McCarthy.

Payton’s preference for Bo Nix was evident. He wanted the media to report that the Broncos were making significant efforts to trade up for their player, and many people believed it. The Vikings tried but failed to move up for Drake Maye.

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, McCarthy will remain the Vikings’ backup quarterback for the foreseeable future.

The Vikings see a lot of talent and untapped potential in McCarthy. This is the best supporting cast he’s ever had. They believe that, if everything goes according to plan, he can not only start games but also excel in them. Therefore, they think that having J.J. McCarthy sit out an unspecified number of games—whether it’s a whole season or not—will help him master a high-volume passing scheme behind the scenes, at least temporarily.
