Guess who’s back? Back again? Kirk-o’s back. Tell a friend.

The Vikings have struck a deal with the Raiders to bring quarterback Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota, according to ESPNFL.

Cousins joined the Vikings in 2018 as a free agent. He spent six years with the team before leaving as a free agent in 2024 for the Falcons.

The Raiders will receive Minnesota’s third-round pick in 2027, per the report.

It’s a small price to pay in an effort to salvage the season. Cousins has been solid for the Raiders, leading the team to a 4-5 record and throwing 20 touchdown passes and eight interceptions.

It’s the second time the Vikings have brought back a former starting quarterback. In 1967, they traded Fran Tarkenton to the Giants. In 1972, the Giants traded Tarkenton back to the Vikings.

We’ll have plenty more on this move, and what it means for both teams, throughout the day. For now, I’ll be putting on my Cousins jersey and heading down to the Olive Garden set for a reaction video.
