What ‘shocked’ Packers’ Matt LaFleur about Vikings’ Kirk Cousins trade appeared first on ClutchPoints . Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Green Bay Packers are currently making preparations for their upcoming home game vs the Minnesota Vikings. In this one, the Packers will be squaring off against quarterback Kirk Cousins , whom the Vikings reunited with via a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders prior to the deadline earlier this week. Now, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has shared his candid reaction to that deal. “I was surprised they didn’t get more for him, quite honestly. I was shocked when I saw what they traded him for. It was mind-blowing to me,” he said, per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team on X, formerly Twitter. Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial) LaFleur wasn’t the only person to share that sentiment, as Las Vegas was only able to pry a future third-round pick away from the Vikings in exchange for Cousins’ services. The Packers have plenty of experience playing against Cousins from his previous tenure as the Vikings’ quarterback, and he remains largely the same player today that he was back then, having gotten off to a hot start to the year for the Raiders this season and keeping up the consistent play even as the team started to fall apart around him. Meanwhile, the Packers will be without running back Josh Jacobs for this game as he recovers from finger surgery, but they still should feel confident about their chances against a Minnesota team that made a major change on the fly after losing two straight games. Kickoff for this one is set for Sunday at 1:00 pm ET from Green Bay.
