Extension for Kirk Cousins looking like a disaster for the Vikings

After falling 38-7 to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship three years ago, the Minnesota Vikings decided to not bring back Case Keenum, and instead, they brought signed free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins to a fully guaranteed deal worth $84 million.

While Keenum had a good year in 2017, it made complete sense as to why the Vikings went hard after Cousins. And even though Cousins has never been a great quarterback, he has been a good one throughout his career. This season, however, has been much different.

Keenum has gone on to be a one-year wonder as he is now already on his third team since leaving Minnesota.
