Kirk Cousins and the Vikings: Is there a contract extension that works for both?

So far this offseason, we've learned that Kirk Cousins is going to be on a Netflix special and that Aaron Rodgers entered into (and emerged from) the darkness.

We've focused mostly on the Vikings defense in terms of actual substance, with that side of the ball needing to undergo to biggest transformation from last year and that process beginning already with the firing of Ed Donatell plus hiring of Brian Flores as defensive coordinator.

But at some point in the next few weeks, the biggest question will be addressed. As our Ben Goessling framed it heading into the offseason, a decision on Cousins' long-term future in Minnesota "will shape the next several years of Kevin O'Connell's and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's tenures, and it will reveal plenty about the direction the Vikings plan to take.
