The Las Vegas Raiders traded quarterback Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, in what has become the biggest move made before the NFL trade deadline.
This marks the end of Cousins’ brief Raiders tenure, which lasted just nine regular season games, and sends him back to a franchise he spent six seasons with, from 2018 to 2023.
Cousins developed a rapport with star wide receiver Justin Jefferson during that time. And Cousins’ first Instagram post after the trade shows that he’s excited about reuniting with Jefferson.
The Instagram post is from the NFL, which had Cousins included as a collaborator. It showed the two hugging after a game when Cousins was playing for the Atlanta Falcons.
Cousins and Jefferson shared kind words with each other before Cousins said, “Thank you for what you meant to me, man.”
“Same, dog. Much love,” Jefferson responded.
Instagram’s caption is, “this duo is BACK ❗️”.
Granted, this post is technically from the NFL and not Cousins.
But Cousins is an approved collaborator on the post, which meant that it is appearing on his profile.
Cousins would have had to approve this collaboration for it to be on his profile, which shows this was his first social media move in the wake of the trade.
Based on this, Cousins doesn’t appear too upset about bringing his family back to Minnesota.
