Former Falcons QB Kirk Cousins traded to Vikings by Raiders

Kirk Cousins has been traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Minnesota Vikings for a third-round draft pick.

Cousins joins a 6-2 Vikings team with a strong defense, providing the potential for playoff success. He previously struggled in Atlanta but has had a productive season with the Raiders, throwing for 2,340 yards and 20 touchdowns. His next challenge will begin with the Vikings' upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks.
