Report: Kirk Cousins, Vikings Agree to 1-Year, $35M Contract Extension Through 2023

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.
