Video: Kirk Cousins Thanks Vikings After Agreeing to Contract with Falcons in NFL FA

After six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, Kirk Cousins is ready for his next chapter with the Atlanta Falcons.

Cousins agreed to a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons earlier this week, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, and he's set to put pen-to-paper on the deal on Wednesday with the official start of free agency.

Prior to inking his new deal, Cousins took the time on Wednesday to thank the Vikings and their fans for his time in Minnesota, describing his departure and subsequent deal with the Falcons as "bittersweet" in a video posted to X:

In his six seasons with the Vikings between 2018 and 2023, Cousins led the team to a 50-37-1 record, two playoff appearances and he also earned three Pro Bowl selections.
