Vikings owner noncommittal to signing Cousins after this season

Minnesota Vikings owner Mark Wilf wouldn't commit to signing quarterback Kirk Cousins after the season.

"We'll leave that to Kwesi (general manager) and coach (Kevin O'Connell) to work through those discussions," Wilf said Tuesday, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN. "There's always conversations on that. But our real focus is 100% on 2023 and getting where we need to be and where I know we can be."

Cousins has signed two extensions since inking a three-year, $84-million fully guaranteed deal in 2018. His contract has a no-trade clause for this season, according to Over The Cap, and the signal-caller is scheduled to hit free agency in 2024.

The 35-year-old led the Vikings to the playoffs in two of his five seasons with the team. Minnesota lost to the New York Giants in the wild-card round after going 13-4 in the regular season last campaign.

"We feel great about the quarterback situation," Wilf said.

He added: "Kirk is an outstanding leader. He's led this team incredibly these past few years, and we're looking for great things from him in 2023."

Cousins has compiled a 46-33-1 record with the Vikings, racking up 20,934 passing yards with 153 touchdowns and 50 interceptions.
