Kirk Cousins

It seems like a lot of big personalities have suddenly visited Northern Minnesota. It's easy to see why, it's obviously a beautiful area. This time it's a MN Viking.

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.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson requested a trade this month because they appear far apart on working on a long term contract that Jackson is comfortable with. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON.

Souhan says based on conversations he's had with people who have covered Cousins both in Minnesota and in Washington Cousins doesn't have the calmness and confidence that many of the great quarterbacks have had over the years.

Two Minnesota Vikings players competed last week in a rousing match of NFL all-star dodgeball.

Last week, the Minnesota Vikings issued a challenge on TikTok encouraging users to create a duet of themselves catching a pass from QB Kirk Cousins.

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins and running back Dalvin Cook were amongst the Pro Bowl players involved in a head-to-head game of dodgeball.

Cousins is currently in Miami, and apparently enjoying the weather far more than the weather he left behind in Minnesota.

Kirk Cousins makes a better QB than dancer.
