Kirk Cousins' wife is ready for their next move following the Las Vegas Raiders' trade back to the Minnesota Vikings.
Julie Cousins broke her silence on the move via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, November 11.
“Another adventure awaits…,” Julie shared, along with a throwback photo of Kirk.
She also shared that their son Turner wanted to hit the baseball diamond before they left. The couple shares two sons: Cooper, 9, and Turner, 7.
“1 hour before we leave for Minnesota…Turner wanted one last at bat in his little league playoff game,” Julie shared alongside a heart-eyes emoji in her Story. “We love you, Las Vegas!”
On Tuesday, November 10, he returned to the Vikings after Kirk was acquired from the Raiders in exchange for a 2027 third-round draft pick.
Kirk previously played for the Vikings from 2018 to 2022. His time in Minnesota was successful, having earned multiple Pro Bowl placements, throwing 171 touchdowns and 55 interceptions. He has the third spot in franchise history in passing yards (20,934), and passing touchdowns (153).
He left the Vikings after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in Week 8 of the 2023 season against the Green Bay Packers. The injury ended his year, and he was later put in free agency for the Atlanta Falcons in March 2024.
In a conversation with Us Weekly back in 2024, Kirk shared with the publication how the move to Atlanta affected their sons.
“Our boys have been pretty resilient,” Kirk said. “They’re handling it well. We put them in three different schools this year because we had them in a school in Minnesota. Then when the season ended, we put them in a school in Michigan. Then when we moved to Atlanta, we put them in a school there.”
“There’s a resilience there," he added. "They almost don’t know any different.”
Kirk reacted to the news on his Instagram Story as well, sharing a photo of him and Fernando Mendoza: “Thank you Raider Nation! Go get em @fernandomendoza.”
Kirk will be hitting the field for his first Vikings game back against the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 15 at 1 p.m.
