The Minnesota Vikings reportedly plan on keeping Kirk Cousins under center through at least 2023.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported the NFC North team signed him to a one-year, $35 million fully guaranteed extension, which means he is under contract through 2023. Cousins also landed a no-trade clause in the extension.
Minnesota hired a new head coach (Kevin O'Connell) and general manager (Kwesi Adofo-Mensah) this offseason after having tried and failed for the last five years to win a Super Bowl.
Despite this decision, nobody has better symbolized the Vikings' inability to get over the hump better than Cousins.
