McCarthy\u2019s starting position is in jeopardy with the signing of Kyler Murray.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">But according to former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel, McCarthy\u2019s career is over, especially with the re-signing of Carson Wentz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Daniels thinks the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/minnesota-vikings\/347\" data-autotag=\"839728ed-97f0-4c7c-9ea6-299b7540514e\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Minnesota Vikings<\/a> may be ready to move on from McCarthy for good.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cI think J.J. McCarthy\u2019s days with the Vikings are done,\u201d he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t sign there to be a backup. J.J.\u2019s done there. Here\u2019s my thing on the whole K.O.C. and Kyler situation: the second Kyler signed with K.O.C., in my opinion, J.J. was done there. They\u2019re not giving J.J. a chance to win it. It would surprise me, very much so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Daniel also added that the Vikings may be looking into drafting Ty Simpson.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cJJ McCarthy\u2019s window with Vikings feels much smaller than people think\u2026.The Kyler Murray move + keeping Carson Wentz isn\u2019t accidental.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It wouldn\u2019t surprise me if they start doing serious homework on Ty Simpson. There\u2019s a lot there that fits what KOC wants to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Whatever the Vikings decide to do, it does look as if McCarthy\u2019s days are numbered in Minnesota with the signings of Wentz and Murray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 23, 2026, 5:40 p.m. ET We already know J.J.
