Vikings closing in on Kirk Cousins: Quarterback visiting Minnesota

Kirk Cousins' first free agent visit will be with the Vikings. It's quite possible the visit will end with a contract making him the NFL's highest-paid quarterback.

According to an NFL source, the Redskins quarterback will visit the Vikings on Wednesday and Thursday as the league year officially begins. Cousins is still talking to teams in addition to the Vikings, another league source said, but mutual interest between the former Pro Bowler and Minnesota has been something of an open NFL secret for weeks.

Multiple reports said the Vikings have offered Cousins a three-year, $84 million deal, which would make him the highest-paid quarterback in the league.
