(Eagan, MN) — Leading into the NFL Trade Deadline, multiple reports have the Vikings sending a 2027 third round pick to Las Veags in exchange for 38-year-old veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. Cousins played for Minnesota from 2018-2023 under head coach Kevin O’Connell but his time with the Vikings ended with a torn Achillies in Green Bay in 2023. After landing with the Falcons and Raiders, Cousins returns to a Vikings team that desperately needs help at the quarterback position after struggling under Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. Cousins threw for 2340 yards, 20 TD’s and 8 interceptions with Las Vegas this season and is expected to be the Vikings number one option starting this Sunday when the Vikings face the Packers on Sunday at noon from Lambeu Field.
