Kirk Cousins is officially headed back to the Minnesota Vikings, and the veteran quarterback wasted little time making his feelings known.
Shortly after news broke Tuesday, November 10, that the Vikings had acquired Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of the NFL trade deadline, the four-time Pro Bowler delivered his first public message about the reunion.
“See you soon, MN! #SKOL,” Cousins wrote on X, accompanied by a photo of himself wearing his former Vikings uniform.
It was a short but unmistakable message from the 38-year-old, who is returning to Minnesota more than two years after leaving the franchise in free agency.
And with the Vikings trying to rescue a promising season that has been undermined by their quarterback situation, Cousins’ homecoming carries considerably more weight than nostalgia.

Cousins’ message came after NFL insider Tom Pelissero and other reporters revealed that Minnesota had agreed to send a 2027 third-round draft pick to Las Vegas in exchange for the veteran quarterback.
The Vikings subsequently announced the deal, which remains contingent on Cousins passing a physical.
The move reunites Cousins with head coach Kevin O’Connell, who worked with the quarterback during his final two seasons in Minnesota.
