After six years with the Minnesota Vikings, Kirk Cousins left for the Atlanta Falcons - a move he perhaps made begrudgingly.
. "But he also made clear he wanted the structure of a new contract -- the guaranteed money, in other words -- to reflect that the Vikings wanted the same thing."During his introductory press conference in Atlanta on March 13, Cousins cited the Vikings' unwillingness to make a multi-year commitment of guaranteed money.
The biggest concern for Cousins, per ESPN, was the Vikings drafting his successor and beginning the process of moving on. With Minnesota's offer, the possibility of doing exactly that became likely - and the Vikings ultimately followed through with it, drafting Michigan signal caller J.J. McCarthy at No. 11 overall.
Perhaps most frustrating for Cousins? His interest in returning to Minnesota was matched by the organization. Yet because of his commitment to landing long-term stability, Cousins left Minnesota for Atlanta. The four-time Pro Bowler appears to have two years of guaranteed of playing time, but what happens after his substantial guarantees ends is anybody's guess.
