They should but they wont and now doomsday is tomorrow.
All of Kork's 2022 salary will become guaranteed.
That 45M cap hit will loom large and these morons will likely see the only option is to extend this dude again.
He'll never win a game when you need him the most.

Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings: 65 garbage-time attemptsKirk Cousins is the Emperor of Garbage Time. The Minnesota Vikings QB completed 73.8% of his passes for a league-high 7 touchdowns when trailing by 16-plus points last year. You would expect nothing less. One cannot become THE Kirk Cousins without the gift of being able to throw a touchdown just before the two-minute warning of a 52-33 loss (Week 16 vs. the Saints).
Over the last three seasons, Kirk Cousins has completed a whopping 75.6% of his garbage-time passes for 13 touchdowns. It’s almost as if the Minnesota Vikings QB sees a prevent defense at the end of a loss, rubs his palms together eagerly, and proclaims, “Time to make my money!”
Somehow, Cousins’ employers are always fooled by the statistical padding and sign up for another overpriced tour of duty.

Sadly, I think we are doomed.
What's worse then the Kork contract is the fact that this front office places very little importance on the backup QB position.
Sean Mannion? Jake Browning? Nate Stanley?
If any of these 3 have to play any amount of time it's over.
Besides the guard positions, the QB position is the most worrisome going forward. For me.
Banking on Kork to not get hurt is foolish. He has been extremely lucky thus far.
I hope he is able to keep it up but the law of averages is not on his side.
This makes the backup QB even more important.
