Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins is signing with the Las Vegas Raiders, according to his agent Mike McCartney (@MikeMcCartney7).
The move brings one of the most high-profile free-agent quarterbacks to Las Vegas as the team looks to solidify its offensive backfield. Cousins, 35, enters the next chapter of his career following a highly productive six-year stint with the Minnesota Vikings. During his tenure in Minnesota, Cousins established himself as a consistent starter, throwing for over 23,000 yards and 171 touchdowns while earning three Pro Bowl selections.
The Raiders have been a focal point of quarterback speculation throughout the offseason, and the addition of Cousins provides the franchise with an established veteran presence under center. Cousins was in the midst of a strong 2023 campaign, recording 2,331 passing yards and 18 touchdowns through eight games, before his season was cut short by an Achilles injury in late October.
Specific details regarding the length of the contract and the financial terms have not yet been made public. Cousins now joins a Raiders roster that features several prominent offensive weapons as the team transitions into a new era under its current leadership. The signing is expected to be finalized as the new league year begins.
