Cousins traded to Vikings after Raiders' decision to start Mendoza.

Kirk Cousins was traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Minnesota Vikings before Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. The trade came after the Vikings' 23-6 loss to Buffalo on Monday Night Football. GM John Spytek said he never shopped Cousins and that talks with Minnesota started in earnest Tuesday morning. Spytek met with Cousins before the trade was agreed to, describing it as a productive conversation where the Raiders showed respect to the 15-year veteran.
