The Vikings acquired QB Kirk Cousins from the Raiders in a trade on Tuesday, NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported. Las Vegas will reportedly receive a 2027 third-round pick for the 38-year-old, who has thrown 20 touchdowns against eight interceptions in nine games this season. The move reunites Cousins with Minnesota after QB Carson Wentz threw for just 81 yards with three turnovers in Monday’s 23-6 loss to the Bills. QB Kyler Murray, the team’s original starter, made six starts for the Vikings this season.
