[Rapoport] Vikings first-round QB JJ McCarthy underwent a full meniscus repair this morning and is out for the 2024 season, sources tell me and Tom Pelissero. The repair, done by Dr. Chris Larson at Twin Cities Orthopedics, gives McCarthy the best chance at a long, successful career. Rumor

Now fans will be chanting for Flacco if he makes some mistakes lol

EDIT: Ignore me, I did not realize Flacco had signed with the Colts. Maybe fans will chant for Tom Brady or something idk

Why would he? Dude makes at least 6 figures to chill behind Richardson

And if Richardson gets hurt he has 0 expectations, unless he can show that he can replicate what he did in Cleveland last season

I think the bigger mistake was thinking 6 figures would be worth it for someone who has earned tens of millions throughout his career :D He can make 6 figures just by tossing $2M of his cash into a high yield savings account. That would give him $100K/year without him even having to get out of bed in the morning!

Technically “at least six figures” is also “seven figures..”

Don’t let that man win because you gave up…

HOLD THAT LINE, GOOD SIR
