Uncertainty surrounds the Minnesota Vikings when it comes to what they're going to do at the quarterback position in the upcoming offseason.
J.J. McCarthy has shown some flashes in his first year as a starter with the Vikings, but he still has a long way to go before the team can feel confident about him as their long-term QB1.
For 2026, Minnesota can choose to continue to be patient and stick with McCarthy as its starter again, or they can take a different path. One of those alternate paths could, believe it or not, lead to a reunion with former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, who is likely going to be released by the Falcons in the upcoming offseason.
