LaFleur Shocked By Vikings' Bargain For QB Cousins
12 Nov
Summary
- Packers' coach LaFleur was stunned by the low cost of acquiring Kirk Cousins.
- Cousins has passed for 2,340 yards, 20 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
- Green Bay, despite recent wins, trails in the NFC North division.
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was surprised by the trade that sent quarterback Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Minnesota Vikings. LaFleur found the return for Cousins, a highly productive player this season, to be astonishingly low. The Vikings reportedly acquired the quarterback for a third-round draft pick.
Cousins has amassed 2,340 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and eight interceptions this season. His arrival in Minnesota is expected to bolster an offense for a Vikings team that currently holds a 6-2 record.
Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers, despite winning five of their last six games, find themselves in last place in the competitive NFC North with a 6-3 record. Quarterback Jordan Love has been performing at a high level. The team also anticipates the return of Micah Parsons from a torn ACL, which should provide a significant boost.
The Packers previously lost to the Vikings in their season opener and need a victory at home to improve their standing in the division.
