What's taking so long? J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings are the last of the 2024 NFL Draft first rounders to get pen-to-paper.
After the Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams agreed to his rookie deal, J.J. McCarthy remains the last 2024 NFL DraftProFootballTalk's Mike Florio speculates
that the Vikings were waiting to see what happened with Williams' deal. Florio states that there has been "unverified social media chatter" that McCarthy wants his full signing bonus right away, so they could be waiting to see if the Bears give Williams his upfront: "If Williams doesn’t get his full signing bonus right away as the first overall selection, it’s easier to tell McCarthy that, at most, he’ll get the same payment schedule that Williams received."Michigan quarterback J.J.

With Williams, there has been no word on how his signing bonus will be distributed. However, if the Vikings are not willing to haggle, we may have to wait a little while to see how this plays out before they re-engage with McCarthy and his camp. With training camp right around the corner, however, the Vikings and McCarthy need to get pen-to-paper fast.
