Summing up the #Vikings deal for Kirk Cousins: 2 new years worth $66M. So 3 years in all for $96M. He has $61M guaranteed at signing. An additional $35M is guaranteed for injury but converts to a fully at the beginning of the 2021 season. They won’t cut him after 1 year and $61M.

Cousins' 2020 cap hit is lowered by $10 million, so it's now $21 million. What Cousins and his agent fought for in 2018 is essentially what they got on the extension. This deal is essentially GTD b/c the Vikings aren't likely to cut him after 1 season and pay him $61 million.

Who is negotiating these deals? Jesus help us.
Re: Cousins signs 2 year extension (Details)
I like Cousins but continuing to pay him so much guaranteed money seems like a very questionable choice.
Re: Cousins signs 2 year extension (Details)
I agree. I don't think he's a horrible QB, but damn that's a lot. I understand it, because it's better for THIS year, but it also means we are married to him longer, and more importantly we are unlikely going to draft a QB soon.

Re: Cousins signs 2 year extension (Details)
Weirdest contract ever. 2 years? Why?
Then there is the fact it becomes fully guaranteed if they don't cut or trade him after next March? Did I read that right?
Just bizarre.

Re: Cousins signs 2 year extension (Details)
I have been hoping for a draft pick at QB. Hurts in rd3 would be awesome, but we need to draft wisely and release some players in next few years. I don't understand giving Cousins a ton of money unless they think he can win a SB

Or perhaps "kicking the can down the road."
Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

Nobody's going to take on that contract. You're looking at upwards of $40 million for year 2022.Rhodes Closed wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 1:35 pmIt basically means we're planning on moving on and trading him next year.StumpHunter wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 12:29 pm Weirdest contract ever. 2 years? Why?

Re: Cousins signs 2 year extension (Details)
So much for a selfless guy who isn't in it for the money. He's going to bleed this team dry just like Stafford. At least it's only 2 years, hopefully we'll have more competent management by then.

According to Over the Cap, Minnesota Vikings Kirk Cousins will be paid $21 million in 2020, $31 million in 2021 and a whopping $45 million in 2022.
Me: he has a 10 million dead cap hit in 2022 so if they want to part ways they save 35 million. I'm wondering what QBs will make on average when 2022 rolls around.
