Kirk Cousins discussed his future plans during a recent appearance on PFT Live, emphasizing that the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his contract will likely be resolved in March. In contrast to his teammate Justin Jefferson, who is under contract for 2024, Cousins is heading towards free agency this March.
Accompanied by Vikings receiver K.J. Osborn, who is also set for free agency, Cousins expressed a desire to continue building on the team’s positive trajectory, acknowledging that decisions in February and March become somewhat passive.
Cousins, who believes he has improved significantly as a quarterback at the age of 36, draws inspiration from players like Tom Brady and Drew Brees, expressing a desire to play for several more years. Despite tearing his Achilles in Week 8, he remains optimistic about his recovery and is eager to return to the field for the upcoming season. The uncertainty surrounding Cousins’ future with the Vikings adds intrigue to the offseason storyline, with fans pondering the potential scenarios.

Reflecting on his surgery, Cousins highlighted the positive aspects of his rehabilitation process and expressed excitement about playing next season, anticipating a newfound appreciation for the game.

As Cousins heads towards free agency, the situation remains uncertain, but he remains focused on healing and competing at the highest level, expressing a goal to play playoff football in the future. Despite the lack of confirmation regarding his return to the Vikings, Cousins maintains a calm attitude, stating that decisions will unfold in the coming month, and he will adopt a more passive approach in February and March. Having joined the Vikings as a free agent in 2018, Cousins’ potential return or move to a new team will be determined in the upcoming months.
