Raiders ship out starting quarterback 12 days before facing Broncos

The Las Vegas Raiders are shipping out their starting quarterback ahead of the NFL's trade deadline.

The Raiders have agreed to trade Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick draft, according to The Ringer's Tom Pekissero. Cousins now leaves the AFC West to return to Minnesota, where the 6-2 Vikings are attempting to make a significant playoff run with an elite defense.

Back in Las Vegas, meanwhile, the Raiders (4-5) will turn the offense over to No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza. The rookie quarterback is poised to make his first NFL start against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. After that, following their bye, the Denver Broncos will host the Raiders for Mendoza's second career start in Week 11.

It remains to be seen if Denver will make any moves ahead of the NFL trade deadline (4:00 p.m. ET today), but the Couins trade is big news in the division.
