Why Kirk Cousins moved on from Vikings before being blindsided by Falcons
NY Post
The Vikings had wandering eyes.
And Kirk Cousins decided he needed to end the relationship.
Cousins opted to sign with the Falcons over the Vikings this offseason in part since Minnesota let him know it planned to draft his replacement high in the 2024 Draft, according to Sports Illustrated.
Minnesota ultimately selected Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the 10th pick, while the Falcons shockingly selected Cousins’ potential replacement in Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8.
That Cousins walked into the situation he tried to avoid proved to be a stroke of bad luck for the quarterback, although he at least has $100 million guaranteed owed to him in his four-year Falcons deal.
Minnesota and Atlanta emerged as the reported two suitors for Cousins, and two factors helped separate the Falcons from the incumbent team.
