That's the most important thing to you as you ponder where you want to play next year.

What a great question. What a great question.

I think it ultimately is about winning football games and so that will be the

most important thing, winning football games. With that, no one thing is in a vacuum.

Usually you win football games because there are some other factors that are really

important to me that are going to have to be there to be able to win football

games.

So it ultimately all ties together the factors work together but

I certainly believe we can do that here. I think that God has blessed me financially

beyond my wildest dreams so at this stage in my career

the dollars are really not what it's about. I had a coach who I was with who was a younger coach at the time. This was back eight, nine years ago and I was before my first

franchise tag. And we were talking about the situation and he made a great comment and he said Kirk it's it's not about the dollars

but it is about what the dollars represent and I thought that was an interesting comment that he made. So there will always be some of that, but today's point, structure is probably more important. Kirk Cousins' signature reporters yesterday as the Viking season officially ends.

You know, I learned a long time ago that when you're interviewing someone and they say that's a great question

They're just buying time as they think of what they're gonna say next

That was the first time I ever heard. That's a great question repeated.

Now, he was either buying even more time,

or he wanted to make it look like he wasn't buying time

and he was effusively praising the questioner so it wasn't the perfunctory

I don't know what I'm going to say so I'll just say that's a great question that was a great move by

Kirk Cousins and I'd love to find out where you're really trying to buy more

time there or did you really want to praise the questioner but we hear that all
