Minnesotsky Vikings believe in JJ McCarthy. Despite the meeting with the veteran of the quoterbek Aaron Rogers in the offseason, the Viking coach Kevin O’Connell said on Monday that he feels “very good” regarding McCarthy’s ability to move forward.
The interests of the Vikings in Rogers could be considered as a McCarthy accusation, but this is not so. O’Connell said to ESPN “Two things may be true at the same time” when discussing the problem on Monday.

What did he mean? O’Connell said that the team could believe in McCarthy and have a dialogue with one of the best defenders of all time. The latter does not deprive the cancellation of the first.
“Aaron Rogers-CHEMPELFRED MVP NFL, and someone who, not only me, but we all respected him so much. And he ended up at a certain time in his career, when he is free to have some real dialogue about how his future might look. And we turned out to be one of the teams that he reached. And I have had a personal relationship with him since since then, since then, since then, since then, since then, since then, since then.
“… but I really feel where (McCarthy now). And on the basis of the information that we have in the process of assessment, the time that we had with him, I feel very well, designing a really positive year for JJ, and now we must go to work and do it. ”
O’Connell and Rogers established relations during the game days of the coach and since then remained friendly. Rogers, obviously, turned to the Vikings about his future NFL, and O’Connell felt that it would be reasonable to chat with the former defender of All-Pro.
The Vikings, in the same way, have gone further, although the team will fit a little if McCarthy will become a starter next season. The General Director of the Vikings of the ADOFO-MELICACH quesa said on Wednesday that he wanted McCarthy to win the work and consider it as a starter in the NFL, but Adofo-Meni also emphasized the importance of the presence of a strong room of the defender.
O’Connell refused to call McCarthy as a team starter on Monday, and indicated that he would have to fight for this work. McCarthy accepted these messages with the course in the offseason, saying that he was “trying to earn” this role.

While the Vikings can return to Rogers’s conversation in the future, many expect that the team will bring some type of quvutterbek veteran on the eve of the 2025 NFL season. The presence of an experimental calling signal on the depth graph will ensure some competition for McCarthy and will give the team a stronger, more informed room of the defender.
McCarthy is unproven at the NFL level, but he was in the overall standings No. 10 in the NFL draft 2024 and received strong reviews in the off -season of the mini -camps before transferring operation on the knee in August.
The Vikings will almost certainly bring another defender who can push McCarthy, but this does not look like that it will be someone with the genealogy Rogers.
