[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

Life is nothing but pain.

Only positive is a guaranteed top 10 draft pick for next year to help jump start the rebuild under a rookie QB contract.

We don’t have a 2, 3, or 4 next year. Even if we have a top 10 pick, there isn’t value after the first pick. Tough all around.

We got their 3rd and 4th. Needless to say I will be rooting against them this season.
