Kirk Cousins’ agent due massive payday after Minnesota trade
New York Post • • general
Key Points:
- Kirk Cousins will receive payments from three NFL teams this season: the Vikings, Raiders, and Falcons, due to contractual obligations from multiple signings and releases.
- Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons in 2024 but was released last year, with the Falcons still responsible for paying him $8.7 million this season.
- The Raiders owe Cousins $1.3 million of his $10 million scheduled salary this year, having already paid him $659,180, while the Vikings will pay him approximately $650,000 for the final nine regular-season games.
- Cousins previously spent six seasons with the Vikings, signing record-breaking contracts in 2018, 2020, and 2022, but will now play for the least amount he has earned in a Vikings uniform.
- The Vikings, currently 6-2 with a strong defense, signed Cousins following a poor quarterback performance by Carson Wentz in a recent loss to the Bills, seeking stability at the position.
