Cousins Gets Fresh Start in Vegas | Atlanta Falcons News

Kirk Cousins is back in the starting lineup—this time with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he’s been handed the keys by offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who knows him well from their Minnesota days. After being released by Atlanta despite a reworked contract and a winning record, Cousins gets a fresh shot in Vegas, even as rookie Fernando Mendoza sits atop the draft board. The Raiders’ move signals faith in Cousins’ experience—and he’s already stepping into a mentor role for Mendoza. While Mendoza could take over as early as Week 3 or 4, Cousins might stick around for most of the season, turning this into a potential comeback story—or at least a bridge to the future.
