Kirk Cousins Rumors: Nick Wright Contradicts NFL Writer as Vikings QB Closing In on Free Agency: “Kyle Would Do It”

Nick Wright wants Kirk Cousins to change his team! With the offseason, the Minnesota Vikings face some tough decisions, especially regarding their quarterback situation. Kirk Cousins, who’s been a key player despite dealing with an Achilles injury last season, is now up for free agency.

It’s leaving fans wondering if he’ll stay or go. There’s a lot of uncertainty, and the Vikings are pressured to make the right call as they plan for the upcoming season. Analyst Nick Wright has even suggested that Cousins might need a change of scenery to chase his Super Bowl dreams.

Nick Wright’s take on Kirk Cousins and the San Francisco 49ers

In a recent episode of First Things First, Nick Wright shared his take on Kirk Cousins’ next move in free agency. He advocated for the San Francisco 49ers as an ideal destination for Cousins. According to Wright, “The best fit if he wants to win a Super Bowl is to go to his old high school sweetheart and the guy that didn’t scout Patrick Mahomes because he was so certain he was getting Kirk Cousins and Kyle Shanahan.”

He pointed out the 49ers’ recent playoff runs, noting, “They can’t get over the hump because the gap has been that big at quarterback, among other reasons.” Wright also suggested that Cousins could join the 49ers on a team-friendly deal. He said, “The best fit is San Francisco on a cheap deal. Now, will he take less money? I don’t know if he would. I bet you Kyle would do it.”

His analysis sheds light on the potential opportunity for Cousins to pursue a championship with the 49ers. Meanwhile, NFL writer Peter Schrager presented a different take in the same episode. He believes that Cousins shouldn’t walk out of Minnesota.
