Colt McCoy

Colt McCoy had a workout with the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

McCoy hasn't been on a roster since the Cardinals cut him before the season began, but he is drawing some possible interest from the Vikings and had a workout with them on Tuesday. If a deal does get done, he will likely play strictly a depth role, but he could eventually earn the QB2 role above Nick Mullens, who is currently dealing with an injury.

Colt McCoy is 'on the radar' as a potential free-agent pickup for the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

McCoy was released by the Cardinals just a few days ago, and he's now drawing interest from the New England Patriots. They just released Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham, so they'll need someone to be the backup behind Mac Jones. The veteran has interest from a few teams at this point, so we'll see if the Patriots can make a competitive enough offer to get him on the team.

The Arizona Cardinals have released QB Colt McCoy.

Fantasy Impact

The move does not come as a surprise considering McCoy struggled in the preseason and the team went and acquired Joshua Dobbs from the Browns. The 36-year-old may be able to find a backup or QB3 job with another team in need of quarterback depth.

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon would not name a starting quarterback for Week 1.

"When we need to name the starters we'll name the starters," Gannon said. "(Colt McCoy's) doing a good job. I thought he operated well. I think he's getting more and more comfortable with what we are asking him to do. He's obviously played a lot of football but I like where his game is trending." The timetable for Kyler Murray remains uncertain.

Veteran QB Colt McCoy started at quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals in their preseason opener, completing all four passes and tallying 22 yards and two first downs.

Fantasy Impact

McCoy only played a single drive, a strong sign that he will be the team’s starter in 2023 amid QB Kyler Murray’s absence. McCoy is 36 years old and looked like a savvy veteran on the field in his limited action. He could be a serviceable starter for Arizona in the meantime, but he likely won’t be a fantasy-relevant asset outside of deeper superflex leagues.
