The 2022 season will be Kirk Cousins' fifth as the Vikings' quarterback. He's got a new contract that could keep him around for a sixth season, too.
For the second time in three years, the Vikings agreed to a new deal with Kirk Cousins to lower the quarterback's salary cap figure while giving him a raise. Cousins' agent Mike McCartney announced the deal is a one-year extension, which puts the quarterback under contract with the Vikings through the 2023 season.
According to a league source, Cousins will get a $25 million signing bonus and a total of $35 million in new money, all of which is fully guaranteed. He again has a no-trade clause — as he did when he signed his first deal with the Vikings in 2018 — and will make a total of $40 million in cash this year.
