Captain Relax Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I am glad that Cousins has been Minnesota's quarterback instead of a certain ex-Geen Bay quarterback who just can't stay out of the news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 to add a little more context to his quote from Monday: Cousins: "I think God has blessed me financially beyond my wildest dreams, so at this stage in my career, the dollars are really not what it’s about." "I had a coach who I was with, who was a younger coach at the time, this was back eight, nine years ago, before my first franchise tag, and we were talking about the situation and he made a great comment and he said, 'Kirk, it’s not about the dollars, but it is about what the dollars represent.' I thought that was an interesting comment that he made. There will always be some of that, but at today’s point, structure is probably more important. Everything that isn’t the dollars, so that’s stuff you also work through." https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/vikings/kirk-cousins-on-his-future-hometown-discount-achilles-rehab?fbclid=IwAR212x_FG-hr1BPGCN__ZW8j5OI59Mftcg9fjx8WhdvgQ1ytFNMfmFR12uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 So, to paraphrase, “I’m a starting QB in this league, and should be paid as such. But that doesn’t mean I need to be amongst the highest paid starters.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) I've felt that way myself over the past few years...money is very important, but once you have enough, really, other things mean more. While he's at a completely different level than all of us here (I certainly don't have anywhere near enough money to last several lifetimes, hell, I'm pretty sure mine will be gone after I'm gone), it's really just Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in practice. Once the first 2 levels have been attained, now, it's on to the rest of them. Edited January 10 by swede700 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he comes back for near nothing, but not thinking he will.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he comes back for near nothing, but not thinking he will.... Agree, I don't expect him to take any less than $35-40M...but that may be fine. They're already on the hook for $28M, so that's not much more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Cousins is likely going to get ~$37M for 2 or 3 years if he re-signs with the Vikings, and probably ~$45M for 2-3 years if he hits the open market. With the new wave of QB contracts between $50M and $55M, a $37M per year deal would be a Brady level hometown discount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 i'll predict/guess/ponder over/throw a dart at the wall that Kirk re-signs with the Vikings for two years at $33 million a year, fully guaranteed. or something else will happen. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
