Vikings agree to one-year contract extension with Kirk Cousins

The 2022 season will be Kirk Cousins' fifth as the Vikings' quarterback. He's got a new contract that could keep him around for a sixth season, too.

For the second time in three years, the Vikings agreed to a new deal with Kirk Cousins to lower the quarterback's salary cap figure while giving him a raise. Cousins' agent Mike McCartney announced the deal is a one-year extension, which puts the quarterback under contract with the Vikings through the 2023 season.

According to a league source, Cousins will get a $25 million signing bonus and a total of $35 million in new money, all of which is fully guaranteed.
