Vikings rumored to be part of Kirk Cousins sweepstakes in wild twist
NY Post
Maybe a reunion is what Kirk Cousin needs.
Cousins, buried behind Michael Penix Jr. after signing a four-year deal with the Falcons, has been linked by The Athletic to his former team in the Vikings in a potential NFL draft trade.
The quarterback-needy Browns and Steelers, who pick second and 21st in Thursday’s draft, are also considered contenders for the veteran.
There is skepticism, though, about whether a Vikings deal could come to fruition, with the outlet labeling Minnesota as the “least likely scenario” of the three.
The hesitation comes from the Vikings committing to 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy and Cousins being “against” any trade to send him to a team with a younger quarterback.
The speculative flip side is that perhaps Cousins would rather be a backup for a team with whom he’s enjoyed success and there seemingly would be a better shot of playing than in Atlanta.

He had just delivered what was — may still be — the forever money performance in the Nets’ NBA history. Jason Kidd had played 51 minutes, 38 seconds of a 120-109 double overtime win against the Pacers, do-or-die Game 5, 2002 first round at the Meadowlands. Reggie Miller had made another of his gut-punch shots to extend the game, a 35-footer that made Tyrese Haliburton’s Game 1 prayer against the Knicks seem like a routine layup.

The old genius had finally gotten one move ahead of himself. That seemed clear. There were eight games left in the hockey season. The Devils, veteran team, were already inside the bracket, comfortably, on the way to 102 points. They’d been mailing it in lately, more a reflection of the time in the schedule than any lack of talent.
