Report: Vikings ‘Having Internal Conversations’ About Contract Offer to Cousins

Kirk Cousins’s future with the Minnesota Vikings remains very much up in the air. While the two sides have discussed a contract extension, it appears likely he’ll hit the free agent market on Monday at noon, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

But ahead of free agency, the team has reportedly had “internal conversations” about their current offer to Cousins, per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini. Whether this will lead to a modified or restructured offer to the quarterback is unknown. 

Russini also reports that Cousins and his camp have not given the team an answer about his decision on the current contract offer.

The Vikings are having internal conversations about their offer to Kirk Cousins. They haven't been informed by Cousins' camp about his decision, per sources. There's a feeling around the team that the QB wants to stay a Viking but this will come down to structure of the deal.
