Kirk Cousins’ wife has joked that everyone in her family is excited about moving to Atlanta after her quarterback husband agreed to a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons. except his beloved Australian Labradoodle, Abe.
Sharing moving plans with NFL fans on Instagram on Monday, Julie showed her two sons, Cooper and Turner, getting ready for the family’s long road trip south and her dog wasn’t in the best mood before to get into the car.
“Packing up to go south…it’s a great time to play some instruments,” Julie captioned her story of her two sons playing toy instruments before settling into their car seats.
‘Atlanta here we come!’
In another video, Julie showed Abe pouting in the kitchen and wrote, “This guy is the only one not excited about moving south!”
Kirk Cousins and his wife Julie are excited to move to Georgia, except for one member of their family.
Julie said the family dog, Abe, an Australian Labradoodle, is pouting from the long road trip.
The Cousins adopted Abe during Kirk’s time with the Vikings, which began in 2018.
Julie, who is a Georgia native, and her husband were married in Atlanta in 2014.
The couple also owns a home in the Peach State.
Julie paid tribute to the Vikings and the franchise’s fans on Instagram before the family moved in this week.
‘We came to Minnesota 6 years ago when Cooper was only 6 months old (sic) and Turner arrived shortly after!!’ Julie revealed. ‘Time flies when you’re having fun!
‘I just want to thank everyone who helped us build our life in Minnesota over the last 6 years. We have the most beautiful memories that we will cherish forever!’
Julie also showed off her two children on her Instagram Story before the long family trip.
Julie and Kirk said ‘I do’ in Atlanta in 2014, before the quarterback signed with the Vikings.
Cousins will look for an injury-free period in Atlanta after rupturing his right Achilles tendon last year.
Cousin’s deal with the Falcons is a big surprise to many, considering the 35-year-old will earn $100 million in guaranteed money. In the fall, he will play his 13th NFL season due to a torn right Achilles tendon he suffered in Week 8 of the 2023-24 season at Lambeau Field.
Cousins had barely missed an NFL game due to injury before that, only missing a game once because he tested positive for COVID-19.
Before rupturing his Achilles tendon toward the end of last season, Cousins was in stellar form, as he was tied for first in the league for most touchdown passes (18).
He will be surrounded by plenty of talent on the Falcons as he will play alongside Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts, giving fans hope that the team will return to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
The Vikings moved on from Cousins by signing Sam Darnold to a one-year contract.
