Immediately after the start of the “legal tampering” period of free agency. . .or well before, depending on who you believe. . .quarterback Kirk Cousins made the decision to leave the Minnesota Vikings to sign a four-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons. Vikings brass made it clear in the lead-up to free agency that they wanted Cousins back, but the two sides didn’t get a deal worked out.
We now know what happened and, given what’s transpired since, it’s pretty funny.
Albert Breer talked in his Monday Morning Quarterback column today about why Cousins decided to leave Minnesota after six seasons in purple.
