Connecting dots: Why Kirk Cousins is likely leaving Vikings

If history is a reliable guide, Kirk Cousins is down to his final days as the Minnesota Vikings' quarterback.

It's not difficult to connect the dots of conventional wisdom at this point, and the only realistic factor to the contrary is the possibility -- however remote it might be -- that Cousins will make the type of decision he has never made before.

The first dot is in the renegotiated contract Cousins signed last spring, one that voids March 13. The details of the contract effectively mean that if the Vikings are going to re-sign him for 2024, they'll need to do it before the free agent market opens next Wednesday.
