“There’s going to be some tough [roster] moves and decisions ahead, and I’ll probably be a part of those decisions, but I couldn’t be more excited about the direction of the team.”

You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. — Robin Williams

@"VikingOracle" said: I could see the Vikes adding a couple of non-guaranteed years to the contract with next year's (2023-24) salary being huge and will become guaranteed on the 3rd day of the year league. That will force the Vikes to cut Cousins but allow the Vikes to lower the cap hit this year. It will have two bad results -- dead money for a couple of years and a lost compensation pick (because the Vikes cut Cousins) but will lower the cap hit this year (depending upon how much of this years salary is converted to a signing bonus).Based on past contracts that Kirk has signed, adding a couple of non-guaranteed years would most likely be off the table. He just doesn't seem like the type of guy that would be able to play with those type of contract terms.

@"Greylock" said:If the 23-24 contract had a non-guaranteed salary of 70 million that becomes guaranteed on the 3rd day of the league year, Cousins could go for it. He is offering the Vikings some salary cap relief this year and gaining leverage or being cut next year. He is not losing a cent in salary from the Vikings and still becomes a free agent next year because the Vikings have to cut him (or negotiate a new contract).@"VikingOracle" said: I could see the Vikes adding a couple of non-guaranteed years to the contract with next year's (2023-24) salary being huge and will become guaranteed on the 3rd day of the year league.
