The Green Bay Packers have become a model of consistency in this league. For the better part of three decades they have consistently been a contender. That was highlighted by their 2010 Super Bowl win as well as numerous NFC Championship appearances and even more playoff berths.
However, the same can not be said about some of the rivals in their division. That was made even more evident today when they lost their most important piece.
Green Bay Packers’ Rival Loses Franchise Quarterback
According to Nick Shook of NFL.com:
Kirk Cousins‘ six-year run in Minneapolis is over.
The veteran quarterback has agreed to a four-year, $180 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.
Cousins’ deal includes a $50 million signing bonus and $90 million guaranteed over the next two seasons with an additional $10 million guaranteed in 2026 for a whopping $100 million total in guarantees, per Pelissero.
Cousins’ move to Atlanta was first announced by his agent, Mike McCartney.
Monday’s news is equally shocking because he’s departing Minnesota, where he’d made a comfortable home for he and his family with consistent play over the last six seasons, and because of the destination.
Packers Fans React To the Minnesota Vikings Losing Kirk Cousins
Of course, the news of the Vikings losing Kirk Cousins one season after many Vikings fans mocked the Packers’ choice to start Jordan Love had immediate reactions on social media:

Falcons are essentially a super team now, just need some oline help and some more recievers
