J.J. McCarthy showed promise at Vikings mini-camp, with a 61 MPH throw and leadership, despite some interceptions. His backups, Sam Howell and Brett Rypien, compete for QB2, with Howell’s arm strength shining. Rookie Max Brosmer impresses as a long-term prospect, but concerns linger over depth if McCarthy falters. | Matt Krohn-Imagn Images Dive into the Minnesota Vikings’ 2025 mandatory mi...2025

• Why a Josh Metellus Extension is a Tough Deal for the Vikings to Negotiate

Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Both sides are talking but terms may be difficult to agree upon Now that the Minnesota Vikings have wrapped up extensions for Byron Murphy Jr., Andrew Van Ginkel, and Josh Oliver, the one most obvious player up for an extension is Josh Metellus.
