He leaves the rebuilding Raiders, his tutelage of No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza complete, in order to return to Minnesota and pursue the ring that's eluded him throughout his 15-year career − six of those seasons spent in the Twin Cities.

Cousins returns to Vikings after strong Raiders stint to pursue championship.

Cousins leaves the rebuilding Raiders after completing his tutelage of No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza to return to Minnesota and pursue the ring that's eluded him throughout his 15-year career, six of those seasons spent in the Twin Cities. He had 20 TD passes with the Raiders and is playing his best football since 2023, when his presumed final season in Minnesota was cut short by an Achilles injury. The source notes it's cool that Cousins, who wasn't enthused about leaving for Atlanta in 2024, gets to return and maybe complete some unfinished business.
