Kirk Cousins is good at compartmentalizing things. For someone who receives so much criticism, that’s certainly a good thing. When it comes to money, Cousins seems fully capable of letting his agent handle that part of being an NFL football player.
During his press conference earlier today, Cousins took on a question about his contract situation. As Vikings fans know by now, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah decided to shave off $16 million of Cousins’ cap hit in 2023, giving the team’s current budget some much-needed wiggle room. However, the cap savings didn’t arrive through a Kirk Cousins extension (as some wrongly predicted).
