The Vikings signed starting quarterback Kirk Cousins to a one-year contract extension, his agent Mike McCartney announced on Twitter.
The one-year extension is fully-guaranteed for $35 million. He will make $40 million this season and $30 million in 2023. The contract includes two voidable years to lower the cap number for the Vikings this season to $31.25 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Cousins, who was entering the final year of his deal, completed 66.3% of his passes last season for 4,221 yards and 33 touchdowns to only seven interceptions.
This upcoming season will look different offensively for Cousins, as Minnesota underwent a full coaching overhaul.
