The Minnesota Vikings have made their quarterback plans clear, with J.J. McCarthy set to start and signing a new backup. With Aaron Rodgers out of the picture, the team is looking to build a strong foundation for the future.

The Minnesota Vikings acquired quarterback Sam Howell in a trade with Seattle on Saturday during the NFL draft, swapping fifth-round picks with the Seahawks for a young backup for J.J. McCarthy who has starting experience.

The Seahawks picked up another backup quarterback, Alabama's Jalen Milroe, in the third round of the draft on Friday.
