Currently, it appears improbable that a return to the Vikings is in the cards for Cousins. The team seems poised to explore alternative options, potentially opting for a younger quarterback to align with rising star wide receiver Justin Jefferson’s trajectory. Despite various speculated destinations such as the Las Vegas Raiders and Atlanta Falcons, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero suggests that the Denver Broncos should not be dismissed as a potential landing spot. Pelissero emphasizes the Broncos’ comprehensive approach in considering all possibilities.
Similar to Cousins’ situation with the Vikings, it seems that Russell Wilson has concluded his tenure with the Broncos. The team and player are evidently headed for a separation in the upcoming NFL offseason, creating an appealing opportunity for a veteran quarterback in Denver.

Given the current stage of his career, Cousins likely prioritizes winning over financial considerations. While he has earned a substantial amount throughout his league career, he has yet to come close to securing a Super Bowl title. Despite the Broncos not being in an immediate win-now mindset, the potential for a rapid turnaround under the guidance of figures like Sean Payton could make Denver an enticing prospect for a quarterback of Cousins’ caliber, or someone else.
