We're probably going to see the same coaching staff and Cousins at the helm for at least another season regardless. If the Vikings want to be a contender again, they need to fill in the trenches...
There's going to be more veteran cuts this offseason on the Vikings. Minnesota took a swing with Cousins and they thought by this point they could have been in a NFCC game or two at the almost completion of Kirk's 3rd year in Minnesota. Didn't turn out that way and now they are paying the price for taking that swing without the success they thought they'd have. Worst case scenario is realized. Its just not Kirk's contract, it was resigning Barr, etc. to bolster what they thought was a Super Bowl quality type roster.
So......they are stuck with Cousins for 2 more years....but really, Cousins was never the problem. Drafting a high upside potential athletic QB in round 3 or 4 to sit behind Cousins just seems like sound strategy.
