Five steps the Vikings must take this
If the Vikings are sincere about wanting to re-sign Cousins, and Cousins is sincere about wanting to stay in Minnesota, an easy deal can be reached. The Vikings are probably more certain about wanting Cousins than Cousins is about avoiding a free agent market in which he could be considered the top quarterback, so if Cousins wants to leave, he'll just leave. If he values playing for Kevin O'Connell, in O'Connell's offense and with Justin Jefferson, he should accept a two-year contract worth about $90 million, plus any voidable or option years that the Vikings capologist , Rob Brzezinski, include to seal the deal. friendly with the cap for the team. I first heard that number from former Vikings general manager Jeff Diamond two weeks ago.
