Kirk Cousins

If Aaron Jones has it his way in Minnesota this season, he and young quarterback JJ McCarthy will be spending a lot of time together on the field in leading roles for the Vikings.

The NFL Draft is the next big event following this wave of free agency on the NFL's calendar, and we officially received the finalized draft order with the distribution of compensatory picks.

Kirk Cousins' divorce from the Falcons is expected to be finalized before his $10 million roster bonus is due March 17, with executives across the NFL fully expecting Atlanta to release him by then.

Michael Penix Jr. is the new starting quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons and Kirk Cousins is heading to the bench, coach Raheem Morris announced Tuesday night.

Vikings fans have this Sunday off as the team plays on Monday Night, and they might want to head out to Blaine, Minnesota. Tommy Kramer is having a 'huge' garage sale this weekend.

No one wanted to leave Sunday from U.S. Bank Stadium. A crowd of 67,008 stood cheering wildly as the clock wound down. Video of Minnesota Vikings receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison appeared on the big screen as they celebrated a rare level of combined production. The camera then panned to Sam Darnold.

It still seems early to be talking playoffs, but with the NFC North stacking wins at a historic rate, both the Lions and Vikings can clinch a trip to the playoffs as soon as this weekend.

Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. said Monday that he'll be ready if the Atlanta Falcons coaching staff calls upon him, but he knows the decision is out of his hands. In fact, he believes Kirk Cousins will be able to stem the tide this season.

Kirk Cousins departed the Minnesota Vikings this past offseason in free agency and opted to join the Atlanta Falcons on a lucrative contract.

Unless you're a bonafide star, hardly anyone's job is completely safe this time of year in the NFL.
