and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider and we're gonna call it

0:29.5

We all Wait Together podcast here to find out.

0:34.2

Because throughout the day, myself, along with you guys,

0:37.9

I'm sure have been scrolling through Twitter,

0:41.3

following the insiders that talk to agents and teams and all those things,

0:47.0

and following all the latest reports about Kirk Cousins.

0:51.0

And you know what they all say? The same stuff that we already

0:54.3

knew that has been said to us on the record by Kirk Cousins or Kevin O'Connell at one time

1:00.0

or another. So we have the latest is that Kirk Cousins probably wants to test free agency, which of course

1:06.4

Kevin O'Connell said on television at the NFL combine, we have that Kirk Cousins is interested in coming back to the Vikings, but it's all about the structure of the contract, which of course he told us on the last day of the year before they had the locker clean out and so forth and you know so basically what we have

at the NFL combine feels like it's a three team race for Kirk Cousins services.

Who's going to make the biggest offer? Will anybody cross the line in the sand that has

2:10.8

been laid out by the Minnesota Vikings and now there's another element to this is how much does Baker Mayfields contract impact Kirk Cousins because I look at Baker Mayfield's deal as somewhere around the same range that I would have expected the Vikings to offer Kirk Cousins that Mayfield's deal says three years it's really two years

2:34.9

based on the guaranteed money 50 million dollars fully guaranteed about a

2:40.2

hundred million dollars overall for Baker which is essentially two years worth of

2:46.5

guarantees for Baker Mayfield so if the Vikings were looking at Kirk cousins as

2:52.4

wanting him to not go farther than a year or two.

2:56.4

That would be around the same ballpark, but as far as average dollars per year for Baker Mayfield,
