Within the next month, Minnesota Vikings fans will learn the outcome of Kirk Cousins’ would-be contract extension. The 35-year-old is not contractually obligated to the Vikings beyond the 2023 season, and if general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah doesn’t pen Cousins to an extension, he’ll test the open market for the first time in six years.
Vikings Fans Should Sneer at a “Bridge QB”
Should Cousins see the light of free agency, teams like the Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots, and Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to express interest. Cousins is recovering from an Achilles tear suffered in October at Lambeau Field, but most NFL pundits believe he’ll still fetch a contract at or north of $40 million per season in 2024.
