STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McCarthy dealt to Giants for fifth-rounder; labeled Vikings' biggest bust with off-field concerns cited.

McCarthy traded to Giants for unconditional fifth-round pick after one season; Forness labeled him 'probably the biggest bust in Vikings history outside of maybe Demetrius Underwood.' Trade lacked escalators, signaling weak market value. Multiple reports cited process inconsistency and off-field 'eccentric' traits that put McCarthy below the 'hot crazy line'—talent existed but play wasn't good enough to match behind-the-scenes concerns. Move sends him to backup role with Jameis Winston, though Giants once considered him at No. 6 overall.
