The Minnesota Vikings have a unique decision afoot regarding 35-year-old quarterback Kirk Cousins. He’s scheduled to hit free agency in five weeks, is recovering from a torn Achilles, and will turn 36 by the start of the 2024 regular season.
When to Expect a Kirk Cousins Verdict
On the open market, Cousins can probably fetch $45 million per season via his next contract, and Minnesota must decide if something in that ballpark is prudent for team-building in 2024 and beyond. The club must make the correct decision at quarterback, whether retaining Cousins, letting him walk via free agency, or drafting a quarterback regardless of Cousins’ employment.
