Former New York Giants head coach Bill Parcells said the team's trade for quarterback J.J. McCarthy signals that the franchise is in win-now mode. Parcells, who led the Giants to two Super Bowl titles, commented on the acquisition during an appearance on Giants Wire.
The trade, completed ahead of the 2026 NFL season, brings McCarthy to New York after his stint with the Minnesota Vikings. Parcells stated that the move shows the Giants are "competing now" and expect to contend immediately.
