Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins addressed fans in Las Vegas and Minnesota on Tuesday, November 10, 2026 — his first public comments since being traded back to Minnesota — during a visit to a Great Clips salon.
Cousins, 38, is in his 15th NFL season. He was drafted by Washington in the fourth round with the 102nd overall pick in 2012.

"There are so many memories and great people tied to Minnesota," Cousins said. "I know the work ahead on the field is significant, but returning there would be meaningful. If I’m going to win and succeed, I want it to happen in Minnesota."
He thanked Raiders fans and staff for their support during his time in Las Vegas. "I’m deeply grateful for how warmly Vegas welcomed me — teammates and the organization included," he said. "My time there was truly positive."
Cousins also spoke to Vikings fans, noting the roster has changed since his previous stint with the team from 2018 to 2023. "I’m excited to return to Minnesota and take on this challenge with a restructured team," he said.
The appearance followed Cousins’ long-standing endorsement relationship with Great Clips. In 2025, the chain awarded him its VIP 'Hall of Fade' card — granting free haircuts for him and anyone accompanying him at the time of use.
