Dolphins considering trade for Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy

The Miami Dolphins are considering a trade for Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy as they reassess their quarterback situation. This comes after Tua Tagovailoa's inconsistent performance and injury history raised concerns about his future with the team. Tagovailoa signed a four-year, $212.4 million contract extension last year but struggled in 2024, leading to the Dolphins finishing with an 8-9 record and missing the playoffs. The team is under pressure to improve in 2025, with head coach Mike McDaniel's job potentially on the line. McCarthy, a second-year quarterback, is seen as a strong candidate due to his skills and leadership. He had a successful college career, showcasing his ability to read defenses and make plays outside the pocket. The Dolphins hope to enhance their offense with a more consistent quarterback.
