From the article

The Giants started down the "all-in" road by giving the Minnesota Vikings a 2027 fifth-round pick for J.J. McCarthy. If J.J. McCarthy continues to impress they will head into the offseason with two starting-caliber quarterbacks under the age of 25. There are a lot of quarterback-needy teams who would be calling the Giants before the 2027 NFL Draft and looking to do business.

McCarthy's development could create premium trade capital via a young QB surplus.

The Giants acquired McCarthy from the Minnesota Vikings for a 2027 fifth-round pick as part of their all-in approach at the trade deadline. The source notes that if McCarthy continues to impress, the Giants will head into the offseason with two starting-caliber quarterbacks under the age of 25, creating a valuable trade asset. The source suggests quarterback-needy teams would call the Giants before the 2027 NFL Draft, allowing them to recoup premium draft capital by trading one of the two young starting-caliber QBs.
