Minnesota Vikings have acquired quarterback Kirk Cousins in a trade deadline deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, bringing the 15-year veteran back to the franchise where he previously played.
The transaction was completed on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Cousins, who spent the early part of the 2026 season with the Raiders, returns to Minnesota after a stint with Las Vegas.
The 38-year-old signal-caller originally joined the Vikings as a free agent in 2018 and played four seasons in Minnesota before departing. His return adds experienced depth to the Vikings' quarterback room as they navigate the second half of the season.
Cousins has thrown for over 40,000 career yards and 270 touchdowns across his NFL career with Washington, Minnesota, and Las Vegas. The trade terms were not immediately disclosed.
