Kirk Cousins, the veteran quarterback, has officially signed with the Las Vegas Raiders on a five-year contract valued at $172 million, as confirmed by his agent Mike McCartney. The contract guarantees $20 million, while the Atlanta Falcons will pay Cousins $8.7 million this season, with the Raiders adding $1.3 million. Additionally, Cousins will receive a $10 million roster bonus next March. This marks the 11th consecutive season that Cousins has a guaranteed contract. At 37 years old, he reunites with head coach Klint Kubiak, who previously served as his position coach with the Minnesota Vikings from 2019 to 2021. In Las Vegas, Cousins is expected to mentor Fernando Mendoza, a highly anticipated quarterback prospect expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. The only other quarterback on the Raiders' roster is Aidan O'Connell, a 2023 fourth-round pick who had a 7-10 record as a starter last season. Cousins was released by the Falcons after a challenging 2024 season, where he threw 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions.
