Vikings GM Intends to Re-sign Kirk Cousins Amid Cap Space Concerns

Despite Financial Strain, Cousins' Return Could Coexist with Drafting a New Quarterback

Minnesota Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has expressed his intention to re-sign quarterback Kirk Cousins, who is set to hit free agency this offseason.
Cousins' potential new deal could range from $35-$40 million, which could strain the Vikings' resources as they have approximately $39 million in cap space.
Cousins has stated that at this stage of his career, it's not about the money but about winning football games.
Some suggest the Vikings should move on from Cousins and draft a new quarterback, with potential candidates being J.J. McCarthy and Michael Penix Jr.
Despite Cousins' potential return, the Vikings are considering drafting a quarterback, emphasizing the importance of thinking long-term and short-term.
