EAGAN, MN — Kirk Cousins signed a contract to play for the Minnesota Vikings at their headquarters in Eagan, the team announced Thursday. The terms of his deal were not released, but media reports estimate the contract at three years, $84 million guaranteed.

This offseason, the Vikings front office chose to let the top three quarterbacks on its roster — Case Keenum, Sam Bradford, and Teddy Bridgewater — hit free agency as it pursued Cousins.

After making it to the NFC Championship with Keenum at the helm throughout most of the 2017-2018 season, the Vikings are looking to the former Washington Redskins quarterback to be the guy who takes them all the way.
