Kirk Cousins agreed to a 2-year contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020 and signed a 1-year contract ahead of the 2023 season, which is a fully guaranteed $35 Million deal. Cousins turns 35 on August 19 and is in a "prove it" contract.

The Vikings have played a bit short handed lately but could be getting to help this Sunday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON. He says the Vikings could get both cornerback Cam Dantzler (ankle) and left tackle Christian Darrisaw (concussion) back from injury this week.

The Vikings fired General Manager Rick Spielman and Head Coach Mike Zimmer Monday. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says fans typically feel the team needs to move quickly to hire a General Manager and a head coach so they don't miss out on a hot candidate.
