This offseason, one of the main questions for the Minnesota Vikings revolved around the status and future of QB Kirk Cousins. Would he get a new contract and be granted his wish to retire as a Viking? Would he play out the final year of his deal and hit free agency? Or could he even be traded to another team in exchange for draft capital?
Well, after a salary conversion, we now have our answer: Cousins will play out the final year of his deal before hitting the open market next March. This was confirmed by the QB himself during mandatory minicamp when asked where he stood with the franchise.
