You Are The Worse Coach I Ever Met’ Star Player Disparaging The Minnesota Vikings Head Coach “Kevin O’Connell”….

Has Kirk Cousins already played his final game for the Minnesota Vikings? Based on reports, this could very well be the case as the 35-year-old heads into free agency this summer. He has not been able to secure an extension with Minnesota, and it does not sound like the Vikings are very eager to offer him a new deal.

Even though he’s no spring chicken and despite the fact that he’s battled through significant injuries in recent years, Cousins still remains to be a sought-after name. In fact, two teams have already emerged as potential landing spots for the four-time Pro Bowler if he ends up leaving Minnesota.

There won’t be a shortage of interested parties if Cousins does hit free agency. According to Albert Breer of SI, the Las Vegas Raiders and the Atlanta Falcons are two teams to keep an eye on. The fact that both the Raiders and the Falcons have hired new offensive coordinators could play a key role in Cousins’ decision for his next team:“The success he’s had in the Sean McVay/Kyle Shanahan offense, both early in his career with Kyle in Washington, and over the last two years under Kevin O’Connell in Minnesota (and before that with Kevin Stefanski and Gary and Klint Kubiak) would ostensibly make him an attractive candidate to join new offensive coordinators in Las Vegas (Luke Getsy) or Atlanta (Zac Robinson), who have strong ties to that coaching family,” Breer wrote.

As Breer indicated above, both Luke Getsy of the Raiders and Zac Robinson of the Falcons fall under the same coaching tree that Cousins has found so much success with through the years. It’s only logical for Cousins to strongly consider these two squads — and their new OCs — as his next stop should his time with the Vikings come to an end.

Bree also noted that based on the deals previously secured by the likes of Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo last season on the “B-level market,” as much as $30 million per season “would seem to be attainable” for Cousins.

There appears to be no significant progress surrounding Kirk Cousins’ new contract with the Minnesota Vikings. According to reports, both parties have been talking about a potential extension, but it does not seem like they’re making a lot of headway.

At this point, it seems like Cousins could be headed into free agency.

It does appear that the Vikings want Cousins to remain. However, they still have their limits. It doesn’t seem like they will be willing to move heaven and earth to retain the services of the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback.

In fact. according to NFL insider Albert Breer of SI, Minnesota’s front office have no intention of offering Cousins a guaranteed deal:“The current Minnesota brass, now going into its third season, really likes Cousins, but it’s also been made clear that they’re not going to go contractually where the previous regime did twice, and give Cousins a fully guaranteed deal,” Breer wrote.

As Breer indicated above, all of Counsins’ previous deals with the Vikings since he joined the squad in 2018 have been fully guaranteed. The fact that Minnesota has now opted to take a different approach speaks volumes of its current valuation of the former Michigan State standout.

Breer also reported, though, that the Vikings have decided to “touch base” with Cousins’ camp last week. While this could be considered a good start, you can’t help but think that the front office will need to do much more than that if they’re serious about extending their quarterback’s deal in the immediate future.

Whatever the case might be, you can be sure that Cousins’ name will be filling headlines for the next several weeks, if not months.
