Minnesota Vikings' Quarterback Future Uncertain as Kirk Cousins' Contract Ends

Potential replacements include trades for Tua Tagovailoa or Russell Wilson, or drafting a young quarterback like Bo Nix.

Minnesota Vikings' quarterback Kirk Cousins is a free agent this offseason, and while both sides have expressed interest in Cousins’ return, they have not agreed to a new deal yet, leading to speculation about his departure.
Rumors suggest that the Vikings might consider trading for Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins or Russell Wilson of the Denver Broncos as a replacement for Cousins.
Another possibility is that the Vikings might draft a young quarterback like Bo Nix, especially if they trade down from their current No. 11 spot in the draft to acquire more draft capital.
Cousins just completed a one-year, $35 million contract and is on the Vikings’ books for $28.5 million next season, regardless of whether he stays or leaves.
The Vikings are starting at $39.6 million in cap space, which could influence their decision on Cousins and potential replacements.
