Summary
Kirk Cousins made his first public comments after being traded to Minnesota, calling the move "really special" because of his history with the Vikings.
Minnesota is a familiar destination for Cousins, who quarterbacked the Vikings from 2018 to 2023 and said he wants any future success to come there.
Cousins described the moment as emotionally mixed, thanking Raiders fans, teammates and the organization for welcoming him during his several-month stay in Las Vegas.
He also told Vikings fans he is eager to return and "write the ending" to a story that began when he first arrived roughly eight or nine years ago.
The remarks came during a stop at Great Clips, where the longtime chain ambassador appeared shortly after the trade before heading back to the "Land of 10,000 Lakes."
