“No final decisions have been made,” Cousins’ agent Mike McCartney said today. “The plan is to visit Minnesota first. That’s all we can say right now.”

In other words, "we're going to Minnesota. That's where Kirk has always wanted to go, and unless the Jets or whoever make a batshit crazy offer at the last minute, we probably won't leave town without signing the deal."
Now this is where all that cool stuff comes in handy. Years ago, I was never confident that the Vikings could seal the deal with anyone, but now, with that fancy new stadium, the state of the art practice facility, stable front office and coaching staff, a top notch supporting cast and culture, a winning history, and a bonkers fan base....no way he leaves.
Kirk Cousins once said that he wants to become the face of a franchise's history. If he can play in Minnesota for another 5 or 6 years, he has a good chance to make everyone forget about Fran Tarkenton and Daunte Culpepper.
Nothing 'likely' about it anymore:

And there it is. The Vikings will get their guy.
Courtney Cronin added,
I guess the big question is... Are we going to give him a nicer office to study in than the cave he had in DC?

Just don't let the jets pull a winfield on us. Situation is much different, but nervous until we get him signed for sure.As to being the face, if he brings home a championship, I will "like that!"

Dumbest thing ever to guarantee the entire contract. And then there is the possibility that he sucks / is just average at best. We will be trapped in a brutal financial situation. He brings ZERO guarantees of excellent performance or health. You can say he has not been injured, but you could also say he is due to be injured. This has a huge possibililty of being the worst contract ever for the Vikings. I have a bad feeling about this guarantee.Courtney CroninVerified account @CourtneyRCronin 5m5 minutes agoCourtney Cronin Retweeted Adam Schefter And there it is. The Vikings will get their guy.

Not only is Cousins much more expensive than Keenum, but from what I've heard on KFAN this morning it sounds like Case's contract with the Broncos is a pretty team-friendly deal.
@"NorthernCalVike" said:I am not a fan of it either, but will leave the numbers game to those who are paid to understand it. I would assume they will structure it to give the team an out if needed. Don't know how it all works though.@"StickyBun" said: Nothing 'likely' about it anymore:Courtney CroninVerified account @CourtneyRCronin 5m5 minutes agoThe "guarantee" thing really really really really bothers me.

We spend how many million on Bradford this year for 1 game. How many million on Peterson for 2 of the last 3 years for 2 games? And how many million 8 years ago for a washed up QB that didn't want to play.
3 years isn't really that long IMO. A free agent signing of this magnitude is pretty much guaranteed 2 years.
