The NFL quarterback carousel is in full swing, and Tuesday morning, there have been two major reports regarding the league’s top signal-callers. The first? Case Keenum, who quarterbacked the Vikings last season, is headed to Denver.
The Vikings, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, have “likely” already found his replacement. Schefter is reporting that former Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins is likely going to sign with Minnesota. Free agency starts Wednesday – so nothing can be official until then.
Kirk Cousins is likely to sign with the Minnesota Vikings, per sources.
“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.”

There are actually reports out there that Cousins has already made his decision. But both Schefter and NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport are reporting that nothing is set in stone just yet.

Rapoport reports that Cousins would be set to make $28 million per year in a three-year deal.
The #Vikings are in the driver’s seat for free agent QB Kirk Cousins. They offered him a 3-year, $28M per year deal. It is not over. But if the visit goes well, he is likely to sign there.
