Silver And Black Pride on Kirk Cousins

Cousins fetched only a third-rounder; source thought escalator clause was warranted.

Traded to the Minnesota Vikings for a third-round pick ahead of the Week 10 deadline. The source initially felt the Raiders should have negotiated for an escalator clause (pick becomes second-rounder if Vikings reach NFC Championship or Super Bowl), but reporting indicated Minnesota refused to go higher than a third-rounder. At 38 years old and mid-season acquisition, Minnesota viewed him as a salvage option but not worth jeopardizing future assets.
