Kirk Cousins Joins Raiders, Veteran QB Boost

0:00It's April 2nd, NFL News. Today starts now, AI powered and always on. Kurt Cousins just inked a deal with the Las Vegas Raiders folks. The 37-year-old quarterback's agent dropped the news on Thursday, and this could keep his starting streak alive a bit longer. Last season with the Atlanta Falcons, Cousins started as a backup to Michael Penix. But when Penix got hurt, Cousins stepped up for eight starts in 10 games total. He put up 10 touchdowns against just five picks down the stretch, proving he still has that arm. Now with the Raiders, he's likely to open the year as the starter, buying time to groom their number one overall draft pick, Fernando Mendoza for the future. Expect more details soon as this shakes out. Raiders fans, your QB room just got a veteran boost.
