For the first time in seven years, the Minnesota Vikings may embark on a regular season without Kirk Cousins as QB1.
The Snag on Kirk Cousins’ Extension Remains the Same
The 35-year-old quarterback is scheduled to hit free agency in three weeks if no extension with the Vikings materializes. He’s expected to fetch free-agent attention for a handful of teams, including the Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers, if Minnesota doesn’t extend his stay.
Vikings fans have wondered for about six weeks if Cousins will return, but according to credible reporting, the snag on his return remains the same: contract structure + guaranteed money.
