Story summary

On November 10, 2026, the Minnesota Vikings acquired veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2027 NFL draft. The trade reunites Cousins with his former team, where he played from 2018 to 2023 and had significant individual success but only won one playoff game during that time. Meanwhile, the Raiders are handing over the starting quarterback role to rookie Fernando Mendoza, their first overall pick in April’s NFL draft, who will face tough defenses in his first two starts against Seattle and Denver. The Vikings made this move after struggling with their current quarterbacks due to injuries and poor performance, hoping to lift their faltering offense and strengthen their chances for a Super Bowl run.
