For $84 million guaranteed, touchdowns will be expected of new Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins.
But chances are extremely good that not every purple possession in 2018 will result in six points. Someone will need to handle the three-pointers, not to mention the point-afters.
That someone could be Kai Forbath. The Vikings haven’t closed the door on the free agent who’s kicked for them the past 1 ½ seasons. Then again, they haven’t exactly flung open the door and embraced him, either.
The second wave of free agency is underway. As the biggest spenders in the first wave, the Vikings already have turned their attention to next month’s draft while permitting Forbath and others they have interest in to further test the market.
