It’s clear that Kirk Cousins will be the Minnesota Vikings quarterback next season. What’s unclear is who will be the quarterback in 2024.The Vikings have restructured Cousins’ contract for salary-cap room this year, but his deal for a $30-million payout remains the same. The contract also expires at the end of next season, after which he could become a free agent.Cousins turns 35 in August and his future in Minnesota now depends on how well he plays this year.
