A calculated gamble that adds a proven starter while creating genuine quarterback competition. Multiple headlines signal media excitement, with reporters already linking big receiver upgrades to maximize Murray. Justin Jefferson publicly welcoming the pressure on J.J. McCarthy is the strongest positive signal here. Fans are buzzing about whether Murray revives his career or simply blocks the younger McCarthy's development. If Murray stays healthy, the Vikings offense becomes dangerous — but the McCarthy subplot will dominate all season.
