Cousins Reunites with Kubiak, Eyes Raiders Future

0:00On April 7th, Kurt Cousins just dropped why he signed with the Raiders. He wanted to link up with new head coach Clint Kubiak, his old quarterbacks, coach from Minnesota. Back in Minnesota, Kubiak worked with Cousins for two seasons as quarterbacks coach and one as offensive coordinator. That staff also included Raiders' offensive coordinator, Andrew Genoco, and offensive line coach, Rick Denison, guys Cousins knows well. Cousins lit up talking about reuniting with them, saying he had some of his top years under their watch. He sees the Raiders packing young talent and building big, and Kubiak's success boosting Sam Darnold in Seattle last year proves his QB magic. Right now, Cousins sits as the number one quarterback on the Dept chart, running an offense that fits him perfect. But word is, he's more of a bridge guy, while the Raiders eye drafting Fernando Mendoza first overall to take the franchise forward. Still, Cousins is locked in and ready to ball.
