Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson says there's no hard feelings between him and Kirk Cousins after the latter's departure from Minnesota.
For the first time in his NFL career, Justin Jefferson's starting quarterback will not be Kirk Cousins. Cousins, the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback who helped Jefferson become one of NFL's best wide receivers during their four years together with the Minnesota Vikings, left to sign a four-year contract worth up to $180 million with the Atlanta Falcons when NFL free agency opened in march. Jefferson said he understood Cousins' decision in a radio interview Tuesday.
And he's an older guy. It's not like he's new into the league, so he kind of knows how to socialize, how to talk, how to communicate with us. 'Not only just about football, but just in general. Just talking about different things, just like how me and Kirk used to do. But to have Sam in there, more of a veteran, older mindset, to have J.J. come in and learn from him as well, it's definitely something that we needed, and I think will be great for J.J. as well.
