Don’t expect Vikings to use an early pick to draft a QB this year

Two years into the experiment, the Minnesota Vikings have had a number of different experiences during Kirk Cousins’ tenure as the team’s starting quarterback.

Cousins’ first season under center with the Vikings didn’t go according to plan as the team missed the playoffs. But in 2019, the quarterback was able to put together an impressive year out on the field and lead Minnesota back to the postseason.

Recently, the Vikings decided to give Cousins a two-year extension which now keeps him under contract with the team until 2023. The deal also bumps up the quarterback’s average annual salary to $33 million.
