Welcome. Seemingly every day there is another article floating around Minnesota Viking/NFL media speculating that quarterback Kirk Cousins may/should end up being traded to any number of teams for any number of draft picks. Those of you who know my work know I’ve long been labeled an “apologist” of Cousins, and this series won’t deviate from that narrative.
That having been said, there is really one solid reason why the Vikings would move on from Cousins and it’s purely financial. With the new lowered COVID-cap, the Vikings lack of cap space and the need to extend Danielle Hunter, the Vikings could move on from Cousins if he resists a restructure himself.
