At end of Vikings season, Kirk Cousins talks financial concessions and succession plans

For more than two months since a torn right Achilles tendon raised the possibility he had played his last snaps in a Vikings uniform, Kirk Cousins has made it clear he wants to come back to Minnesota in 2024 on a new contract.

Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and coach Kevin O'Connell have reciprocated those sentiments, and as players cleaned out their lockers on Monday, right tackle Brian O'Neill gave perhaps the most emphatic endorsement any of Cousins' teammates have offered in support of his return.

"Absolutely. Absolutely," O'Neill said when asked if he wants Cousins back.
