The rumored Kirk Cousins Minnesota return is a go. The Raiders will end their bridge setup, with The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reporting Cousins is rejoining the Vikings at the deadline.
Las Vegas will collect Minnesota’s 2027 third-round pick for the 38-year-old passer, who played six seasons with the Vikings before relocating to Atlanta and then Vegas. We heard last week the Vikings had done work on a possible quarterback trade, even after signing Kyler Murray in free agency, and Carson Wentz’s rough Monday-night outing ramped up the team’s desire to upgrade at the game’s premier position.
Minnesota is sending its own third-rounder, keeping Philadelphia’s (obtained in the Jonathan Greenard trade) in this Cousins swap, Pelissero adds. Talks indeed accelerated after the Vikes’ 23-6 home loss to the Bills on Monday night, per the Minnesota-based reporter. Cousins will join a Minnesota QB room housing Murray, Wentz and Max Brosmer. It is safe to say another change is coming after this move.
More to come.
