One of the biggest discussions of the offseason for Minnesota Vikings fans. . .one that will no doubt be conducted in the calmest of fashions. . .will be whether or not the team should bring back quarterback Kirk Cousins. In an interview he did with Kevin Seifert of ESPN on Monday, we may have gotten a bit of insight as to what the answer to that question might be.
As we know, Cousins has done his best to maximize his contract value throughout his career. He played under the franchise tag for two straight years in Washington, and when the (then) Redskins refused to franchise him for a third time, he came to Minnesota and signed the NFL’s first fully-guaranteed contract, a 3-year, $84 million deal.
