In one sense, Kirk Cousins’ ninth NFL season finds the quarterback with the stability he’s long sought and often lacked in his career.
He’s set to take home more cash ($40 million) than any quarterback in the NFL in 2020, thanks to a new deal that rewarded him with a $30 million signing bonus in exchange for a lower cap number.
He’ll spend another season working with Gary Kubiak, the architect of the offense that Cousins directed during a career year in 2019. And he’ll direct an attack that’s spent two first-round and two second-round draft picks on accoutrements for the quarterback since he walked in the door.
