Kirk Cousins reveals touching decision his sons made after trade to Vikings: 'Let's go!'
Cousins revealed that his Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota home was sold "pretty quickly" when he signed with the Atlanta Falcons, which means starting anew with this return to the Vikings following a trade deadline deal the Las Vegas Raiders made.
Key points
- But Julie’s handling that." Cousins added earlier that his neighbor had a prospective buyer once he signed his three-year deal with the Falcons in 2024, which led to a very quick sale that didn’t result in a listing.
- McCarthy has done well since he was named the Giants’ starter, going 2-0 in his starts, while the Vikings just tested Carson Wentz after Murray was too injured to play "Monday Night Football" against the Buffalo Bills.
- With Cousins’ understanding of the scheme, as well as chemistry with receivers like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, we could see the Vikings’ offense finally sustain drives, and hopefully for their own sake, produce points on the scoreboard.
Kirk Cousins is back with the Minnesota Vikings, and while he needs to get caught up to speed with Kevin O’Connell’s offensive scheme once more, he also needs to figure out where his family is going to be staying.
Additional details
- "I was hoping they were going to come with me, but I said, ‘What are you thinking, Julie?’ I know it was her call," Cousins said after a reporter asked about his living situation.
- Cousins is excited for the opportunity to work with the Vikings again, especially considering things were not going well in Las Vegas despite a 3-0 start.
- Cousins was the man, and it seemed easy for the Vikings to want him considering the previous connection and work in O’Connell’s scheme.
- Since then, Murray hasn’t been able to stay healthy, nor consistent, on the field, while McCarthy was made third string and eventually traded to the New York Giants following the season-ending injury for their own franchise quarterback, Jaxson Dart.
- It will be a busy week for the 38-year-old signal caller, but everyone in Minnesota, including his entire family which is ready to plant its roots soon in a new home, will be behind him in this next chapter.
