Thread: QB Kirk Cousins leaving Vikings for 4-year deal with Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have finally solved their franchise quarterback issues.

The club agreed to terms on a four-year deal with former Minnesota Vikings free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins on Monday, according to his agent, Mike McCartney.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Cousins' deal is worth $180 million ($45 million per season), including $100 million guaranteed.

"After significant and positive dialogue with Kirk and his representatives, we were unable to reach agreement on a contract that fits the short- and long-term visions for both Kirk and the Minnesota Vikings," Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said in a statement. "Kirk holds a special place in Vikings history, and we appreciate his leadership and contributions to the team and the Minneapolis-St. Paul community over the past six seasons. We wish him; his wife, Julie; and their children all the best. Our approach heading into free agency always included layers of contingencies regarding the quarterback position. We are moving forward with plans that allow us to continue building a roster that can compete for a championship."

Thank God! I don't want the Broncos to sign him!

Good for him! Has there ever been a relatively average QB rake millions like he has?

The most average guy you've ever seen in every way finds people to pay him a lot of money to continue being average.

He's literally living my dream. I'm so jealous.

You know what I am all about what Kirk Cousins has done in his career. He sat there on draft night and watched every team pass him by 3 to 4 times picking inferior QBs. I just don't see why anyone would begrudge a guy saying "I'm taking this thing all the way to the bank." He owes zero loyalty to any team that doesn't have him under a current contract. Good on ya Kirk. The Cousins clan will be set up for generations because Kirk said "I have a rare skill worth a shit ton of money and I ain't giving one red cent to absolutely anyone in a bargain."

I love it. He's the ultimate gangsta

What “rare skill” are you referring to?

I don’t begrudge his money, just glad it was never Broncos’ money he stole.
