After six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, Cousins, 35, signed a four-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday, according to multiple reports includingESPNandThe Athletic.
That same day, his wife,Julie Hampton Cousins, shared a glimpse of their family’s move from Minnesota to Atlanta on social media. “Packing up to head south… great time to play some instruments,” Julie, 35,wrotein an Instagram story, adding, “Atlanta, here we come!" at the bottom of the post.
The video showed their sons, Turner, 5, and Cooper, 6, strumming a guitar and playing with a keyboard while suitcases lined the family’s home as they packed their bags into the car.
“This guy is the only one not excited about traveling south,” Julie wrote in the video on her story.

Cousins will be returning to the field this fall with the Falcons after he suffered a season-ending tear to his Achilles tendon in October. He immediately underwent a successful surgery, and is hoping for a new start in Atlanta.
In November, the quarterback told PEOPLE he’s never doubted his career in football, even when times get tough.

“I’ve never gone to work and wondered if I should be doing something else for a living or if I’m in the wrong career, or if I need to switch jobs,” said Cousins, who starred in Netflix’sQuarterbackdocuseries last year alongsidePatrick MahomesandMarcus Mariota.
“I think that’s a real blessing in and of itself, to go to work every day and feel like you’re living a dream,” he explained.
“Hopefully, in a few more years when I do retire, they’ll both really be able to remember it all,” said Cousins.
