Actually, it caught me by surprise, but let me tell you, it totally makes sense all across the board. I mean, you’ve got to give it to John Spytek, their general manager. I mean, that was one of the best usages of a quarterback in NFL history. There’s no doubt about that.“He signed Kirk Cousins to a deal, kind of a cheap deal, got the most out of him. I mean, he leads the league in touchdown passes thrown. I mean, he’s having a heck of a year, and then boom, trades him, gets value from him. A third-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings.“Let me tell you, it couldn’t have been a better fit for the Minnesota Vikings either. He’s going back to Minnesota. He knows the playbook. He knows Kevin O’Connell. He knows the offence there. He knows the fan base.”Cousins now joins 6-2 Vikings, who have strengthened their roster to improve their chances of winning, while the Raiders pivot to a reset since Cousins didn’t fit their timeline anyway.It’s a win-win trade for both teams, but considering where the Raiders were from a point of view of contending, getting Cousins off the roster is a great move.Read more:Charity reveals ‘very generous donation’ as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding giftKirk Cousins made one key decision before Raiders agreed Vikings trade‘You’re not happy to see it’- Daniel Jones breaks silence on Colts’ trade deadline moves
