Kirk Cousins agrees to two-year extension with Vikings

Quarterback Kirk Cousins agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings, his agent announced.

The former Redskin was about to enter the final year of his three-year, $84 million deal with Minnesota. The extension keeps him in purple through 2022.

The NFL Network later reported that the extension was worth $66 million, meaning he was set to make $96 million over the next three seasons.

Cousins and the Redskins parted ways in 2018 after he received the team’s franchise tag two years in a row to keep him in Washington.
