Key FactsVikings Weigh Quarterback Changes for 2026 Season
Mar 1, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: newsweek.com
  • The Minnesota Vikings are open to exploring options beyond JJ McCarthy as their starting quarterback in 2026.

  • There is mutual interest in acquiring Anthony Richardson, who has been granted permission to seek a trade.

  • Kirk Cousins and Geno Smith are viewed as short-term alternatives if a deal for Richardson falls through.

  • Signing Cousins or Smith would be cost-effective since both players might be released by their current teams.
    • They’re gonna continue to coach him up, but I’d be surprised if there is not serious competition for JJ McCarthy next year as the starting quarterback for the Vikings.
    — Matthew Berry of NBC Sports, speaking at the NFL Combine
