Former NFL coach Vic Fangio has stated that the New York Giants secured a major bargain in their trade for quarterback J.J. McCarthy, according to a report published Wednesday.
The comment comes as McCarthy continues his first season with the Giants. On October 18, 2026, the quarterback took the field at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as the Giants faced the New Orleans Saints in a Week 6 matchup.
Fangio, who has extensive experience evaluating defensive talent, did not elaborate on the specific terms of the trade but emphasized the value the Giants received. The team acquired McCarthy in a deal that has drawn widespread attention across the league.
