Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek has disclosed details behind the team's pursuit of a trade for quarterback Kirk Cousins with the Minnesota Vikings, according to a report from ClutchPoints. The discussion reportedly took place during the 2026 NFL offseason, though specific terms and the timeline of negotiations were not detailed in the initial report.
Spytek, who oversees Las Vegas' personnel decisions, indicated the Raiders explored acquiring the veteran quarterback as part of their evaluation at the position. Cousins, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, has spent recent seasons with the Vikings after previous stints in Washington and Atlanta.
No agreement was ultimately reached, and Cousins remained with Minnesota. The Raiders continue to assess their quarterback options heading into the 2026 season.
