Over the last few weeks, there has been a ton of speculation about the Vikings free agency. They sat approximately $15 million over the cap with multiple players primed for trades and restructures. Within those discussions, there were a lot of different ways this offseason could go.
Just minutes after Tom Brady tweeted out to the world that he was coming out of retirement and back to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero broke the news that the Vikings had agreed in principle to an extension with quarterback Kirk Cousins.
With all of the discussions of possible change, the Vikings have extended Cousins by giving him a fully guaranteed short-term extension.
