Veteran NFL quarterback Kirk Cousins is signing with the Las Vegas Raiders in a shock move.
Tom Brady's Raiders have made a move for the former Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons signal caller despite being expected to pick another quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, with the No. 1 pick in this mont's draft.
Cousins, who was released by the Falcons earlier in the offseason after two years in Atlanta, will bring invaluable experience for Mendoza and new Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak.
Cousins and Kubiak worked together for three seasons in Minnesota before the coach left in 2022.
