"It's all about winning a Super Bowl," says Cousins on Vikings' return

Grateful to be back. Certainly a unique feeling coming back into the building today. Thank Want to say thank you to the Raiders for, you know, the opportunity they gave me this past offseason and the chance they gave me to play and the way that they handled with Minnesota, handled the last, whatever it was, 24 hours. So I'm grateful for them and the people there. And, you know, certainly, you know, you. it was tough to leave a building that you've, you know, Spent some time with the guys and built a rapport, but also knew I was. Headed to a building that I also know a lot of guys and have a great rapport, and I'm grateful to be coming to a team that has a lot of ability, as well coach, that just has a lot of promise here in the back half of the season, so excited to be a part of it and to hopefully contribute the best I can. It's all about winning a Super Bowl. It always has been in every organization when the year begins. We're here to win football games and ultimately win a Super Bowl. When you say how much of it is about that, I mean, that's ultimately what you're building towards. Now, we can't win the Super Bowl today. We can't win it this Sunday. But, you know, you're on a journey to try to get there. Every year I've been playing this league, that's the journey you're on. So just trying to get everything logistically handled. But we're diving in and going to make the most use of our time. I remember when we traded for TJ in 22. I didn't envy him at that time, how much he had to do and how much he had to get caught up on and the effort the coaches put in to help him, and I find myself in a similar role today. Kevin knows what I can handle. Kevin knows what I can't handle, and I think that helps. I think that helps, not just that he knows your strengths, but that he knows your weaknesses and that as a result, he's going to try to protect you and not have you do things that he knows. You know what? That's not how Kirk functions. That's not his best chance at success, and I think the fact that he knows me well. The good about me and the bad about me, I think, should help us.
