Kirk Cousins expects to play out Vikings contract, resume negotiations next year

Quarterback Kirk Cousins will have a new Netflix show before reporting to Vikings training camp late next month, but he does not expect to have a new contract with the team.

Cousins, speaking to reporters after the team's final spring practice on Wednesday, said he anticipates playing out his current contract, which expires after this season. Cousins, who turns 35 in August, has previously said he wants to "earn the right" to retire in Minnesota.

Cousins' representatives and Vikings brass attempted a contract extension this offseason, but negotiations stalled before the mid-March opening to free agency.
