🚨 SHOCKER IN MINNESOTA: Vikings Captain J.J. McCarthy Reportedly Submits Resignation Letter, Citing “Too Much Purple”

In a move that has stunned fans, confused sports analysts, and triggered panic across fantasy football leagues nationwide, Minnesota Vikings rookie quarterback and newly dubbed “Captain Kirk 2.0,” J.J. McCarthy, has allegedly submitted his resignation letter to the team — less than a year into his NFL career.

According to a completely unverifiable source who may or may not be just a guy in a Justin Jefferson jersey outside U.S. Bank Stadium, McCarthy was seen “storming out of the facility” carrying a duffle bag, three cans of Red Bull, and a copy of the Michigan playbook.

“It’s not me, it’s the NFC North.”

The supposed resignation letter — which may have been scribbled on a Chipotle napkin — reportedly read:

“Dear Minnesota Vikings,
I appreciate the opportunity to lead this team, but I can no longer in good faith throw slant routes in below-zero weather while pretending not to miss Ann Arbor.
Also, the mascot terrifies me.
Respectfully,
J.J.”

NFL insiders were quick to express skepticism, noting that quarterbacks don’t typically “resign” from the NFL like office interns. One ESPN analyst said, “The only thing more fake than this story is the Vikings’ playoff hopes.”

Fans React: “He better not be serious.”

Fans flooded social media with mixed reactions. Some blamed offensive coordinator Wes Phillips, others blamed the turf, and one particularly passionate fan blamed Aaron Rodgers, just out of habit.

“I KNEW we should’ve drafted an O-lineman,” tweeted one disgruntled fan, ignoring the fact that McCarthy went 15-for-17 in his last game.

Meanwhile, others suggested this was just a prank or “one of those TikTok stunts.” Still, Vikings nation held its breath, awaiting an official statement.

Vikings Organization Responds

A team spokesperson finally addressed the rumors late Wednesday:

“We have not received any resignation from J.J. McCarthy. He is currently watching film, lifting weights, and preparing to throw bombs to Justin Jefferson.
Please stop calling.”

Conclusion: Fake News, but Entertaining

While the internet buzzes with the “I can’t believe he’s going” narrative, cooler heads have confirmed that J.J. McCarthy is very much still a Viking, very much still under contract, and — despite being a rookie — very much not in charge of submitting resignation letters like he’s quitting a retail job.

But if he had resigned? He would’ve gone down as the first player in NFL history to quit the league because of too much purple… and maybe a little too much pressure.
