Kirk Cousins Traded Back to Vikings

sportsNov 10, 2026341,423

The Las Vegas Raiders traded quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings for a 2027 third-round pick, and Minnesota reacquired its former starter to try to rescue a misfiring offense. Las Vegas immediately opened the door for No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to make his first start, and the Raiders updated their depth chart accordingly. The Raiders must fill an open roster spot; the article notes defensive tackle Tim Keenan, who has been activated the past three weeks, would require a formal signing to the roster before he can be activated again. Minnesota gets Cousins back as a veteran option to stabilize its offense; Las Vegas shifts to Mendoza as its long-term plan at quarterback.

Chuck Schumer being Majority Leader again is going to work the same way Kirk Cousins is going to lead the Vikings to a Super Bowl

kirk was absolutely the best option available for playing well enough to get my hopes up so they can be dashed in the playoffs

I hate how accurate this is

Kirk would probably be a better majority leader, though.

That’s grossly unfair. Cousins has a MUCH better chance of success than Schumer. I mean, still terrible, but there’s terrible and then there’s Schumer.

The line on the Vikings all year has been that they just need *average* QB play. So far, Kirk Cousins ranks 9th in success rate, 8th in on target rate, 11th in EPA/db. That’ll work! Discussed with @benjaminsolak.bsky.social 👇 📺: youtu.be/PkInMeHDjX4?...

I just find it funny the Vikings have come full circle back to Cousins. The moved on from Cousins to only end up with Cousins.

"The two happiest days in a boat owner’s life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it. Those were the two happiest days in the lives of Kirk Cousins’ employers as well. But there's a caveat: life without Cousins is far worse than life with him." too-deep-zone.ghost.io/a-pretty-goo...

Kirk Cousins just got traded back to the Minnesota Vikings. If the Cowboys aren’t gonna do anything, I hope the Vikings and Cousins wins it all. It’s a nice come back story. 😁

@petemrogers.bsky.social

if kirk cousins, who’s currently 2nd in TD & 5th in passing yds, continues to put up top 5 numbers while turning the vikings offense around and leads them to atop the nfc, does he win mvp?

Initial reaction to the Vikings' trade for Kirk Cousins. To be fair to Cousins and everyone else, the issue in Minnesota has not just been QB play. Not an easy road ahead for him. With Ryan McFadden, Jeremy Fowler and Michael F. Florio: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
