New Headline: Vikings Praise Proven Passer for $25 Million Deal!
He may not be a Viking again, but he will be on someone's roster soon with what he has left to offer.
The Minnesota Vikings seem to be set with their quarterback room, for now. The team signed Kyler Murray last week to a one-year deal to compete with J. J.
McCarthy, who is coming off a disappointing 2025 season. There was a thought that they could still add one more piece, but it seems that won't be former Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins if it is. Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport has the former Vikings quarterback as one of the top free-agent veteran options on the market.
Davenport writes, "Last year with the Atlanta Falcons, Cousins started eight games, completing just under 62 percent of his passes for 1,721 yards with 10 touchdowns and five interceptions. Those aren't especially impressive numbers, but we are talking about a player in Cousins who has started 167 games and made it to four Pro Bowls. " For what it is worth, he projects him to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders to be a backup to projected first-round pick, Fernando Mendoza.
Cousins has been paired with several young quarterbacks over his career, especially in Minnesota, so it would be a role he is comfortable with. This article originally appeared on Vikings Wire: NFL Free Agency: Former Vikings QB remains a top option for teams
