So far this offseason, the Minnesota Vikings have opted not to extend quarterback Kirk Cousins beyond 2023, meaning the upcoming season could be his swan song in purple.
Cousins has led the Vikings for five seasons, reached the postseason twice, won one playoff game, and ranks fourth leaguewide in touchdown passes since 2018. He’ll get at least one more shot in Minnesota with head coach Kevin O’Connell in charge (barring a shocking trade).
