The Vikings hired Kirk Cousins as a free agent in 2018, but he hasn’t been perfect since then.
Minnesota has seen Cousins play great games, but he has also taken the team out of important games this season, such as those against the Colts and Falcons. With Sean Mannion, Nate Stanley and Jake Browning behind Cousins, there doesn’t seem to be much hope that there is still a starting caliber quarterback on the roster or practice squad at this point.
CBS Sports isn’t quite after the Vikings’ quarterback situation, but they don’t think the team is necessarily stuck in that position either. The outlet listed Minnesota under the Slightly Intriguing category. Here’s what it said about the Vikings’ quarterback situation, in conjunction with the Rams:
The contracts the Rams and Vikings have with their quarterbacks – Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins - most likely rule out any real move if either team was looking for a possible upgrade. But these team (s) don’t quite fit into the top category.
The Vikings will likely be stuck with his cousins until at least 2022 and probably 2023, because of his contract. Whether Minnesota finds a cheap, potential replacement remains to be seen.
