The Las Vegas Raiders have acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a draft pick, according to trade analysis published Tuesday. The move sends the veteran signal-caller to Las Vegas as the Vikings move on from the 36-year-old quarterback.
Trade grades evaluating the deal for both franchises have begun circulating, with analysts assessing the value of Cousins' experience against the draft capital surrendered by the Raiders. The Vikings receive future draft assets while clearing cap space and turning the page at the quarterback position.
Cousins, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, has thrown for over 39,000 yards and 270 touchdowns in his NFL career spanning Washington, Minnesota, and now Las Vegas. The Raiders gain a proven starter as they evaluate their quarterback situation moving forward.
