Kirk Cousins is headed back to Minnesota. On Tuesday, it was reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN that the long-time NFL veteran and Michigan State football legend has been traded back to the Minnesota Vikings from the Las Vegas Raiders for a 2027 third-round pick.

Cousins was a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback for the Vikings during his time there from 2018-2023. He spent a few years with the Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders before heading back to the Vikings. The Vikings have been the talk of the NFL this year, starting the season 6-2 through the strength of their elite defense, but their offense has been exposed in recent weeks, leading to back-to-back losses.

Cousins will now look to shore up the offense and help them get back to the top of arguably the toughest division in the NFL.
