The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders to bring quarterback Kirk Cousins back to town, according to Tom Pelissero. Las Vegas will get a 2027 third-round pick in return for Cousins.
Cousins was signed by the Raiders this offseason to mentor first-overall pick Fernando Mendoza. He has passed for 2,340 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions on 64.1 percent completion.
From 2018-2023, Cousins started for the Vikings. He has also played for the Commanders and Falcons during his career. Through 15 seasons, Cousins has passed for 47,040 yards, 318 touchdowns and 139 interceptions on 66.6 percent completion.
Minnesota has had great defensive play, but has had trouble finding good quarterback play. The Vikings are scoring just 18.3 points per game.
Las Vegas will now turn things over to Fernando Mendoza at quarterback. The Raiders are 4-5 and still could make a push towards the playoffs.
