Now that the Kirk Cousins drama has played out with Cousins taking the guaranteed money and heading south to Atlanta, the focus moves to the draft and selecting a new franchise quarterback. The Vikings front office and coaching staff have been preparing and doing their due diligence on the past couple quarterback draft classes- and the current one as well. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah also issued a statement saying he’d always had layers of contingencies planned at the quarterback position if Cousins chose to sign elsewhere. We are beginning to find out what those are.
But as prudent as having layers of contingencies can be in finding a way to get competent play from the quarterback position, at the end of the day either you sign a future Hall of Fame quarterback or you don’t.
