Kirk Cousins’ Old Team a Cautionary Tale for Vikings

So far in the 2023 offseason, the Minnesota Vikings have not extended Kirk Cousins’ contract beyond next season, a signal the franchise could end the relationship in less than a year.

Cousins reportedly wasn’t asking for a market-shaking extension, either.

The Star Tribune’s Andrew Krammer said on the Access Vikings podcast last week, “I had also heard that he wasn’t asking for $40 million. He wasn’t asking for that much, in terms of what Daniel Jones got, who is obviously much younger but much less accomplished. Cousins’ camp was kind of surprised I guess, from what I heard, at the Vikings not jumping or at least accepting what they were asking for.
