I’ve gotta say goodbye to Minnesota, to the Minnesota Vikings,” Cousins said. “That’s what makes today tough. I just wanted to put out a little video to say ‘thank you.’”
The new league year—at the start of which agreements between players and teams can become official—begins Wednesday afternoon.
“A quarterback really doesn’t have a chance without great people around him and for six seasons in Minnesota, I had great people around me,” Cousins said.
Cousins leaves Minnesota third in passing yards and second in passing touchdowns on the franchise’s all-time leaderboard. He made three of his four Pro Bowls with the Vikings, who he steered to playoff berths in 2019 and ’22.
“I’d like to say ‘thank you’ to the people of Minnesota, the people of the Twin Cities,” Cousins concluded. “As a result of your impact, Minnesota will always hold a special place in the hearts of me and of my family.
