Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles tendon at Lambeau Field on October 29th, a win for the Minnesota Vikings but a loss for the season’s remainder. The man was on pace for a mammoth season, including MVP-like numbers, yet Minnesota finished the season with a 3-6 record sans Cousins.
And because Cousins and the Vikings’ front office couldn’t reach an extension on a contract agreement last summer, the two parties are set to chat again as early as now. As of January 28th, the situation could truly break either way: Cousins could play for the Vikings for a couple more years or bolt for a team like the Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers, or New England Patriots.
