Kirk Cousins Expected to Return to Vikings in 2023; Contract Extension Possible

The Minnesota Vikings still aren't ready to contemplate a quarterback change from Kirk Cousins.

"It's our expectation that he will be our quarterback," general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah told reporters Wednesday.

Adofo-Mensah didn't rule out an extension for Cousins, either. The four-time Pro Bowler is under contract for one more year and carries a $36.3 million salary-cap hit for 2023.

Couldn't say at this point whether that would be Cousins playing the final year of his deal or receiving an extension this offseason.
