Kirk Cousins’ potential return to the Minnesota Vikings is still hanging in the balance, and there’s one major obstacle standing in the way — the Atlanta Falcons’ asking price. After signing Cousins to a massive deal earlier this offseason, the Falcons now appear open to parting ways with the veteran quarterback, but not without demanding a steep price.
At the center of the negotiations is Cousins’ hefty bonus, a financial hurdle that’s reportedly making the Vikings hesitant to pull the trigger on a reunion. Minnesota has shown interest in bringing Cousins back into the fold, but only if the numbers make sense — and right now, they don’t.
Sources say the Vikings are closely monitoring the situation, hoping the Falcons will lower their demands and absorb more of the bonus money owed to Cousins. If Atlanta is willing to budge, the door could swing wide open for Cousins to make a dramatic return to the team where he spent six seasons.
The Vikings are in a pivotal moment as they eye the upcoming draft and consider their long-term QB future. While younger talent may be available, the familiarity and leadership Cousins brings could be too valuable to pass up — if the price is right.
For now, it’s a waiting game in Minnesota. But make no mistake: if the Falcons drop their demands, don’t be surprised if Kirk Cousins walks right back into the Vikings’ locker room, helmet in hand and unfinished business on his mind.
