When the Minnesota Vikings decided to sign free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins in 2018, the general feeling was that he would be the final piece to help get the franchise to the Super Bowl.

But three seasons later, the Vikings and Cousins have only earned a single playoff victory during his tenure with the team. Minnesota has paid the quarterback a total of $94 million since 2018 and they certainly haven’t been able to get a return on their investment yet.

Despite the recent rumors of other teams potentially having interest in trading for Cousins, he still has two years left on his contract with the Vikings, and the goal of getting to the Super Bowl remains the same.
