Vikings Acquire Kirk Cousins From Raiders
The Minnesota Vikings acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders for a 2027 third-round pick, reuniting with their former starter as they try to revive an offense struggling through consecutive losses and keep their season on track. Cousins, who has a strong 2026 statistical record and familiarity with coach Kevin O’Connell’s system, will start Sunday against Green Bay. The Raiders named rookie Fernando Mendoza their starter, saying his progress, accuracy and command had prepared him to debut against Seattle. Minnesota’s other quarterbacks include the injured Kyler Murray, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer; the Vikings also moved Odell Beckham Jr. from the active roster to the practice squad to make room for Cousins.
