Summary
- Vikings discussed a potential 2027 return with Kirk Cousins.
- Cousins is open to a multi-year agreement with the team.
- The team has a $10 million roster bonus for Cousins in 2027.
The Minnesota Vikings have initiated discussions with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins regarding a potential return to the team through the 2027 season. Even before finalizing a trade for Cousins, team officials contacted his agent to gauge his interest in a long-term commitment beyond a one-year rental.
Cousins, who is set to become a free agent after the current season, has expressed openness to continuing his relationship with the Vikings into 2027. The team views this as a positive sign as they navigate a historically unstable quarterback position.
As of November 15, 2026, Cousins is performing strongly, ranking fifth in the NFL for passing yards and second for touchdown passes. The Vikings aim to solidify their quarterback situation by potentially keeping Cousins, having acquired his contract which includes a $10 million guaranteed roster bonus for 2027.
