Kirk Cousins Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, who signed a one-year, $36.1 million contract extension in March that includes a no-trade clause, said that he wants to remain with the Vikings for the rest of his career. "I would like to retire as a Viking, and so I would like to play my way into that if you will. I know I've got to earn the right to do that. But if I could draw it up, it would be (to) play well enough that you never have to play or wear another jersey anywhere else. So I'm going to work really hard to try to make that possible," Cousins said. The 33-year-old signal-caller will be working with new head coach Kevin O'Connell in 2022 and has two of the best receivers to work with in Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, not to mention a strong running back with Dalvin Cook.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has agreed to a one-year, $35 million extension. The deal is fully guaranteed, complete with a no-trade clause, meaning the veteran could conceivably suit up for the Vikings through 2023. Cousins remained one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the league during the 2021-22 campaign, finishing with 4,221 passing yards, 33 touchdowns, and only seven interceptions. Unquestionably, Adam Thielen, Justin Jefferson, and Dalvin Cook may benefit by having a familiar, relatively effective signal-caller tossing them the ball. Additionally, former Rams offensive coordinator and new head coach Kevin O'Connell has been touted for his play-calling prowess, so if Cousins and company can get things in order, it could mean great things for fantasy managers.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins isn't expected to give the team a hometown discount if they look to sign him to a contract extension. Cousins has been better than arguably any NFL player at maximizing his value, and that's not expected to change this offseason. There's word that Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr wants $40 million per season on an extension, and Cousins would want to be in that ballpark. Cousins is due $45 million in 2022 in the final year of his current deal after throwing for 4,221 yards, 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions last season. The 33-year-old signal-caller is likely to remain in Minnesota on another massive deal if the Vikings are truly persistent about avoiding a rebuild. And with new head coach Kevin O'Connell in town, Cousins could be even better in the fantasy realm.
