Vikings Kirk Cousins Turned Down 90 Million From the Jets.
Signing Kirk Cousins was the gem in the diamond ring of the Minnesota Vikings signings this offseason. We know that Cousins signed for $84 million dollars guaranteed for three years, but what we didn’t know is that the New York Jets were close to signing Cousins for $6 million more.
In the miniseries NFL Life- Kirk Cousins: The Path to Minnesota, Cousins goes into detail about his decision-making process for choosing the Vikings.

I think in my situation structure is as important if not more important. We want the money to be guaranteed.”
