The Minnesota Vikings restructured the contract of quarterback Kirk Cousins on Tuesday afternoon to save cap space. According to The Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling, the Vikings have saved $16 million on the salary cap for 2023.
Cousins had a base salary of $10 million and a roster bonus that was due this week at $20 million. With two void years to play with, the Vikings push out $16 million into those two years and reduce his cap hit from $36.25 million to $20.25 million. The dead money that the Vikings are looking at in 2023 sits at $28.25 million.
