Adam Thielen and Kirk Cousins know this: The Minnesota Vikings traded one of their top offensive weapons last week, sending wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills for four draft picks, including a first-rounder. You can’t blame the Vikings for making the move. That is quite a haul for Diggs, who probably isn’t even […]

The Minnesota Vikings signed quarterback Kirk Cousins to a two-year contract extension on Monday morning, and while details were scarce early, they are now beginning to trickle in. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Cousins’ extension is worth $66 million. He now has three years and $96 million total on his deal overall and […]

Fans and media pundits instantly criticized the three-year, $84 million deal Kirk Cousins signed with the Minnesota Vikings in March 2018, and a shaky debut season with the club only seemed to solidify those claims.

When Kirk Cousins originally signed his three-year, $84 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings in 2018, the instant reaction was that he was overpaid, and a shaky debut season with the Vikings only made those voices louder. But after a strong 2019 campaign, Minnesota is looking to reward Cousins. According to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com, […]

The San Francisco 49ers have been linked to an extremely high-profile free agent quarterback recently.

However, people have speculated this isn’t true because the team made it to the Super Bowl last year with Jimmy Garoppolo as the […]

Kirk Cousins gets a lot of heat for his play, but a lot of times when the Minnesota Vikings did struggle during the 2019 season, it wasn’t his fault. There are some people who are are giving up on Cousins, but he is still the right guy to lead the Vikings to the promised land. […]

Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins led the Minnesota Vikings to a postseason berth, claiming the second NFC Wild Card spot and upsetting the New Orleans Saints (which had Teddy Bridgewater) in the first round of the playoffs, only to lose to the conference champion San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round.

The Minnesota Vikings backed up the Brinks truck for quarterback Kirk Cousins in 2018. That year, it looked like a serious mistake. Cousins simply did not look like he was worth the type of money they gave up for him. It also didn’t help that they were 13-3 and sniffing the Super Bowl the year […]

The Minnesota Vikings’ miraculous playoff run ended after pulling off an upset over the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card round.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins earned his second Pro Bowl invite in 2019, but the 2019-20 NFL season was far from the cheery end note for the 31-year-old Michigan State product.

After losing to the San Francisco 49ers, the Minnesota Vikings are out of the playoffs. The offseason is among them. The change will surely come, but not to one position. As expected, the Vikings will bring back Kirk Cousins for the third year of his $84 million contract. That should come as no surprise, considering […]

Kirk Cousins doesn’t like that. Richard Sherman likes that. Midway through third quarter of the San Francisco 49ers’ drubbing of the Minnesota Vikings in the divisional round, Richard made his mark on the postseason again. Sherman intercepted Cousins third-and-9 while covering receiver Adam Thielen. After doing so, he pulled off Cousin’s signature “you like that!” […]

As the San Francisco 49ers look to advance to the NFC Championship Game for the first time in six years, Richard Sherman just pulled off a throwback.

TO. THE. HOUSE.@StefonDiggs stays on his feet for the […]

The Minnesota Vikings remain in the playoffs and a huge reason why is because of the play of Kirk Cousins.

Kirk Cousins is finally doing it when it matters most. In Sunday’s 26-20 Wild Card win over the New Orleans Saints, the much-maligned Minnesota Vikings quarterback drilled a 43-yard pass to Adam Thielen in overtime to set up the game-winning touchdown, a toss to tight end Kyle Rudolph. The Cousins-to-Thielen connection was eerily similar to […]
