The trade moved Cousins, 38, his wife, Julie Hampton, and their two children back to the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
NFL quarterback Kirk Cousins has found his way back to the Minnesota Vikings following the Las Vegas Raiders trade—and he's eager to offload his Georgia home as he prepares to make the move.
The trade moved Cousins, 38, his wife, Julie Hampton, and their two kids back to the Land of 10,000 Lakes and allowed the Raiders to acquire Fernando Mendoza as their starting quarterback.
Following the news, Cousins posted, "Thank you Raiders Nation! Go get em @fernandomendoza."
Cousins spent six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings before being traded to the Atlanta Falcons in 2024. While there, he picked up a sprawling $3 million Georgia mansion.

(Realtor.com) The move to Georgia was an emotional one for the Cousins' family, especially for the athlete's wife, who posted a heartfelt goodbye to Minnesota.
"We came to Minnesota 6 years ago when Cooper was just 6 month old and Turner came shortly after!! Time flies when you’re having fun! I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped us build our life in Minnesota over the past 6 years. We have the most beautiful memories we will cherish forever!" she penned alongside a slew of images of the family.
Then, in April 2026, Cousins was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. Two days before the news was announced, the NFL pro put his Atlanta property on the market for $2.99 million.
Then, in September, Cousins lowered that asking price to $2.75 million. Now, although the family is looking forward to returning to Minnesota, it appears they are still grappling with a real estate headache in the form of their Georgia home.
The sprawling abode, which was built in 2004, underwent a dramatic overhaul in 2024, likely in anticipation of Cousins and his family moving in. The listing described it as offering "timeless architecture enhanced with sophisticated, modern finishes throughout."
It is located in a gated community known as The River Club, where many Falcons players choose to live because of its impressive communal amenities, top-of-the-line security, and, of course, its enormous mansions.
Cousins' dwelling spans more than 10,000 square feet on a 0.9-acre lot and features six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, providing more than enough room for the quarterback and his family.
Enormous trees shield the home from its neighbors, ensuring maximum privacy, while a huge front porch provides the perfect place to relax away from the glaring heat of the Georgia sunshine.

(Realtor.com) Inside, the home features a very traditional aesthetic, starting with an elegant entryway that leads to a soaring double-height great room, complete with a large stone fireplace and patio doors that open to the backyard.
The ground floor is filled with open entertaining spaces, including a formal dining room and a huge "designer kitchen" with a large island and a separate breakfast nook.
Adding a cozy touch to the kitchen is another of the home's three fireplaces, which—according to the listing photos—has been used as a sweet relaxation spot by Cousins and his family, with large armchairs currently flanking the stone addition.
A pantry provides an incredible amount of storage, complemented by the kitchen's many built-ins and cupboards.
The third fireplace in the home is located in the stunning wood-paneled office, which overlooks the backyard and features beautiful built-in shelves, as well as a stately mantelpiece.
All six of the bedrooms in the home boast their own en suite bathrooms. However, the primary suite also features an enormous seating area with bay windows that overlook the surrounding landscape.
A finished basement provides an ideal spot for a game room, media center, or gym, while also housing another bedroom, bathroom, and a small office space.
The newly renovated screened-in deck at the back of the property can be used year-round as a dining or relaxation spot, the listing notes. An outdoor fireplace also adds another cozy spot for guests to gather.
