2025 Vikings QB situation is…interesting. Is a Herbert trade probable?

[Rev]

Darnold is gone, Rodgers is out, JJ McCarthy is presumably in…but is he?

Really want to throw this roster and premium pass offense weapons to a 2nd year rookie that isn’t proven to sling the rock like that?

There was brief talk about a Herbert/Vikings trade proposal last April but didn’t get anywhere

Obvious McCarthy-Harbaugh connection from Michigan

Harbaugh is run-heavy, so obviously not the best match for Herbert

Kevin O’Connell could help Herbert get to where he needs to be

Chargers need to retool a bit, Vikings have loaded up on cap space

Draft night trade on the way??

wouldnt it feel like a waste of draft pick that couldve went towards another position if you trading JJ

 

[Ohene]

I don’t think herbert will get harbaugh a title
If this trade can be done and the chargers get 1st round picks on top of Mccarthy it’s worth it

Sounds like a random ass rumor that materialized out of thin air and now everyone running with it

Harbaugh didn’t come back to the nfl to find a qb

Yeah, I thought Herbert was a major selling point for Harbaugh even taking the job in the first place....?

I dont get why people are writing Mccarthy off. The kid looked promising before the injury. He hasnt even snapped the ball yet in the regular season. Why all of a sudden would they want to bush him?

The great unknown and it’s not like he was great in college, he was there to not fuk up

You still gotta give him a shot though, u spent a first round pick

CALIFORNIA was the selling point to the Harbaugh's (Sarah Harbaugh to be exact)

They've hated JJ since he was at Nazareth Academy. Then IMG. Then DEFINITELY at Michigan. They just hate the kid. Makes no damn sense, but it is what it is.

Rookie QB contract is the biggest advantage in NFL

I said last season if they ain't bring Sam back they need to trade JJ and a pick to the Chargers for Herbert.

Harbaugh doesn’t want him, he could of drafted him

Not without unloading Herbert first. I'd be willing to bet the house that if Harbaugh could get multiple picks (including Minny 1st) and JJ in return for Herbert, then it would be a done deal. Harbaugh LOVES JJ.

He'd be able to unload that Herbert contract AND get a QB still on his rookie scale?

Bruh. Guaranteed.

I think it would actually be helpful to both teams too. Kinda weird.
