The Vikings didn't pay too much, a third-round pick, and it's the unique situation of a quarterback who has played with the coach and in the scheme before. He can step right in. The Vikings have a fantastic defense and now should have a competent offense.

Cousins reunites with Vikings at low cost; scheme familiarity aids transition.

The Vikings acquired 38-year-old quarterback Kirk Cousins for a third-round pick, a rare trade for a viable starting quarterback. The source cautions against overrating the move, noting the Vikings still have "the fourth-best quarterback and fourth-best offense in their division." However, the source highlights the unique advantage that Cousins previously played in Minnesota under the current coach and scheme, allowing him to "step right in." The source concludes it was "smart for the Vikings to find out" given the fantastic defense and now-competent offense, though many who previously clamored for Cousins during his six prior seasons in Minnesota had doubted his ability to win.
