When the Minnesota Vikings signed Kirk Cousins to a three-year, $84 million contract this was supposed to be the missing piece that pushed the team over the top and deliver to them to the promised land. The $26 million paid in 2018 resulted in a very mediocre and very disappointing 8-7-1 record.
To be honest, Cousins may not be the problem; after all, he came to Minnesota with a 24-23-1 record as the full-time starter in Washington. Statistically, he has an exceptional year for the Vikings. His 4,298 passing yards rank second only to Daunte Culpepper’s 4,717 yards in 2004.
