Kirk Cousins Next Team Odds: Vikings Reunion On The Table?

By Adam Martin Oct 30th, 2025 11:26 AM EST

Quarterback Kirk Cousins arrived in Atlanta before the 2024 NFL season, bringing with him hopes that the presence of a stable, talented, veteran QB would push the talent-laden Falcons past Tampa Bay in the NFC South.

The Falcons guaranteed Cousins $90 million for the first 2 years as part of a four-year deal potentially worth $180 million.

However, the Falcons failed to meet those lofty expectations under Cousins' QB leadership. After a 6-3 start in 2024, the Falcons lost 4 straight, all but wiping out their playoff chances. Cousins was finally benched in Week 16 after a 15-9 win over the Raiders.

Rookie Michael Penix finished the year for the Falcons and has started all but one game this season. Now, Cousins has requested a trade ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4, but it’s difficult to say what will happen.

Kirk Cousins' Next Team Odds - Team-by-Team Analysis

The Atlanta Falcons remain strong favorites to keep Cousins for 2025. In his second season with the squad, he has been the primary backup, though he did start in a Week 8 blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins, performing poorly once again. Cousins has requested a trade, but there is no guarantee he will be moved due to his high salary and also the fact that Penix Jr. needs a veteran backup. That’s why it feels more likely than not that Cousins will stay in Atlanta. Still, a trade cannot be ruled out, as it feels like this signing just hasn’t worked out for either side.

Minnesota Vikings (+200)

Cousins starred for the Minnesota Vikings from 2018 to 2023, racking up a 50-37-1 record with the team and making the Pro Bowl three times with them. However, he left the Vikings for the Falcons in free agency last year, a decision that he likely regrets, considering how poorly his tenure in Atlanta has gone. The Vikings right now have JJ McCarthy as their starting QB, but he has struggled in his first year in the league. With backup QB Carson Wentz out for the season due to injury, the Vikings could be in the market for another veteran to compete with McCarthy. On paper, Cousins seems like a perfect fit, but his massive salary complicates a potential trade.

New York Jets (+800)

The New York Jets are one of the worst teams in the NFL, and they have received terrible quarterback play from both Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor this season. They could use an upgrade at the position, and Cousins would provide it. Again, Cousins’ salary complicates a potential trade, but he would be a definite upgrade on what the Jets have at QB right now.

Miami Dolphins (+1400)

The Miami Dolphins have been brutal this year, and QB Tua Tagovailoa has been dreadful for the team. Dolphins fans want to move on, and picking up a veteran replacement like Cousins, who is more reliable than Tagovailoa, would make sense for the team. If the Dolphins decide to rebuild and get rid of their franchise QB, Cousins would be a good option to replace him.

The Field (+1000)

There are several teams around that league, such as the Cleveland Browns, that could use a new QB, so the field is a viable option to pick up the veteran gunslinger should he get traded. If only he had a more reasonable contract, more teams would be interested in trading for him.
