Last offseason, Cousins signed a one-year contract extension with Minnesota. He's due $10 million in a base salary for the upcoming season.
Cousins, 34, was named to his fourth Pro Bowl in 2022 after a 13-4 season and an early exit in the playoffs.
Vikings management has already made plenty of moves this offseason, letting go of veteran favorites Eric Kendricks and Adam Thielen.
