In a stunning development that has shocked fans and stirred controversy within NFL circles, a new report has revealed that the Minnesota Vikings may be regretting their decision to part ways with their former quarterback — a player whose resurgence is now making waves across the league.
According to sources close to the team, internal discussions and analytics reviews have resurfaced concerns that the Vikings may have prematurely moved on from their former signal-caller. While the franchise believed it was the right time to pursue a new direction at the time of the split, recent performances and comparisons with current quarterback play have reportedly sparked second-guessing within the organization.
Though the report stops short of naming the specific quarterback, speculation is rampant that the player in question is **Kirk Cousins**, who signed with the Atlanta Falcons after leaving Minnesota. Cousins has impressed early in the 2025 season, showing poise, leadership, and elite accuracy — traits that the Vikings are reportedly struggling to replicate under their current starter.
A league executive familiar with the situation shared, *“The numbers don’t lie. When you see how Cousins is performing and how the Vikings offense has sputtered, it’s natural for people in the building to wonder ‘what if?’”*
Cousins, who spent six seasons with the Vikings (2018–2023), led the team to multiple playoff appearances and consistently posted top-10 passing stats. At the time of his departure, Minnesota cited cap space management and a desire to develop younger talent as key factors in letting him walk. But now, with the team off to a shaky start and offensive inconsistency plaguing their efforts, that decision is under the microscope.
Meanwhile, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris praised Cousins earlier this week, calling him *“a calming force in the locker room and a true field general.”* Cousins currently leads the NFC in completion percentage and has thrown for over 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns in the first five games of the season.
As frustration grows among Vikings fans and media, pressure mounts on the front office to explain whether the decision to cut ties with Cousins was part of a long-term plan or a miscalculation that could cost them another playoff run.
The Vikings have not officially commented on the report, but with mounting evidence and growing fan chatter, it’s clear the topic won’t go away anytime soon.
