The big headline, and rightfully so, from Monday's media availability with Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is that he wants to "retire as a Viking."
After a rather tumultuous offseason that saw the Vikings — after missing the playoffs for the third time in four years with Cousins as their QB — fire both head coach Mike Zimmer and General Manager Rick Spielman and during which Cousins was himself the subject of trade rumors, the end result at the quarterback position was Cousins signing a one-year contract extension (plus adding a no-trade clause) so his deal now runs through 2023.
