Will he or won’t he? That was the lingering question surrounding whether Kirk Cousins would return to the Minnesota Vikings. All doubts were erased once he agreed to a lucrative contract with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday.
For the #Falcons and Kirk Cousins, it's a 4-year deal worth $180M ($45M average per year). He gets $90M over the first two years and $50M to sign. https://t.co/LlnzEjq259

There’s the obvious concern gamers will have about whether Cousins’ torn Achilles tendon is healthy, and one can safely believe there’s no way the Falcons would guarantee that kind of money without being confident in his recovery. He will officially sign as soon as Wednesday after passing a physical.
