The New York Giants acquire quarterback J.J. McCarthy in a trade involving the Minnesota Vikings, and his jersey number for the 2024 season is revealed following the move.
Both outlets report that McCarthy will be changing uniforms and that the Giants will now list him with a specific number tied to his arrival. Coverage centers on the immediate, practical detail of the number rather than on an in-depth breakdown of his role.
While both sources carry the same basic headline framing—highlighting the “shock” nature of the trade and the jersey-number reveal—there are no additional distinct factual claims in the provided excerpts beyond that he is joining the Giants and that the number is announced. Details such as the exact number itself and contract specifics are not included in the supplied text.
