He’s the biggest fish in this Free Agency – and it’s clear where Kirk Cousins is heading: According to consistent reports, the Minnesota Vikings will win the bid, with a historic deal.
According to NFL network insider Ian Rapoport, cousins in Minnesota will receive a three-year contract with an annual salary of $28 million. The historical aspect is that the contract should be completely guaranteed.
According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, there is every indication that cousins will sign in Minnesota on Thursday – but a final agreement before that is unlikely. The Vikings coaches and bosses want to meet their cousins for dinner on Wednesday evening before cousins visit the team facilities on Thursday. After that, the signature is likely to follow.
The Vikings have been the favorite of cousins for weeks, with Denver Broncos, the Arizona Cardinals and the New York Jets as the hottest rivals. The Broncos withdrew first and snatched Case Keenum instead. The jets are reported to have called Teddy Bridgewater Plan B.
