Kirk Cousins Returns to Vikings as Raiders Turn to Mendoza
Kirk Cousins is heading back to Minnesota, and the Vikings are hoping he can help salvage an offense that has struggled this season. CBS Sports graded the deal an A for the Raiders, who are handing the starting job to rookie Fernando Mendoza. The Guardian framed the move as a classic deadline swap that reshapes two quarterback rooms at once. Vikings fans are weighing whether the veteran can stabilize the passing game, while Las Vegas commits to its young signal-caller.
