However, as we've learned the last couple of days, if they declare him a post-June 1 cut at that time, they can spread that hit out over 2021 and 2022. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
babababa 53 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I've never soured on a player as quickly as I have with Cousins. I was happy when they extended him. I'm at a complete loss as to how his level of play has dropped off this drastically. Some of this is the O-line's fault, but a lot of it is just poor decision making. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the Vikings cut Cousins after this season they will end up paying him over $60M for one year of service. $30M signing bonus, $9.5M 2020 salary, $21M guaranteed 2021 salary.

When he managed to be good or clutch, those were the anomalies. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He only threw 6 INTs last season and he has 10 through 6 games this year (he had 10 all year in 2018 his first season as a Viking). He's on pace for 25+ picks. That's a drastic drop. He has the lowest QB rating he's ever had as a full-time starter -- down 20 points from last season when he had a 107.4 rating compared to this year at 88.2. Was Stefanski that instrumental to his play? I don't get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SemperFeist 4,942 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I wouldn’t be surprised to see Cousins come out of the bye week and play very well. Cousins has played fairly well except for his turnovers, and his number of turnovers is very uncharacteristic of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteelKing728 2,323 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Even if he does play well, QB is still our #1 need. I know the lines are weak but getting a QB (and getting the right QB) is so important. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
