Vikings trade for Kirk Cousins
Why you should care:
The Vikings on Tuesday made a move at quarterback before the NFL trade deadline, acquiring Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a 2027 third round pick. Cousins previously played six seasons in Minnesota, three under Kevin O’Connell, and got his only playoff win with Mike Zimmer.
In nine starts with the Raiders this season, Cousins has more than 2,300 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
The Vikings made the move after Carson Wentz struggled on Monday Night Football, and Kyler Murray still dealing with a hamstring strain.
