Vikings GM gives stance on potential Kirk Cousins return in 2024.
Will Kirk Cousins be back with the Vikings in 2024?
The Vikings hold the 11th pick in this year’s draft, and it is unclear whether or not a quarterback will be available at that pick, or if a trade opportunity is realistic this year.
Cousins was playing very well before tearing his Achilles this year. With limited options, the Vikings could be forced to bring Cousins back. It will be interesting to see if Minnesota brings back Cousins, or if he walks in free agency.
The New England Patriots are recovering from a down 2023-24 season. The Patriots finished the year at 4-13 and failed to make the playoffs. Nevertheless, Apple TV is releasing a team documentary featuring Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and others. Kirk Cousins reacted to a powerful quote from Danny Amendola.
“Amendola’s quote, ‘We worked for Bill, but we played for Tom’ from the Dynasty trailer is about as strong a compliment as a QB can receive,” Cousins said, per his X account.
The Patriots won six Super Bowls during Tom Brady’s tenure. The New England legend is widely considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. However, longtime coach Bill Belichick has not been able to keep the Patriots dominant during the 23-24 season.
New England struggled to stay afloat on both sides of the ball during the year. The Patriots attempted to bolster their depth by bringing in veterans like Ezekiel Elliott. Still, the squad could not finish the season with a winning record.
Despite the down year, New England can turn things around and regain their competitive edge. While it is not certain they can return to their dominant form of the 2000s, they can certainly make the playoffs again.
