And the Hey everybody welcome to another episode of purple insider Matthew collar here with you tonight and it's another Monday night countdown

countdown list so I have made a list of five things tonight last time I tried 10 but the first one I think we ended up talking for about a half an hour about the first thing on the list. So I decided to cut it down to five

and look for a lot of audience participation.

So the comment section is open

and I would love to feature a lot of your comments on the YouTube and of course if you're listening on the podcast version I'll be reading the comments and before we've even gotten started just based on the headline which is the Vikings five options for

Kirk Cousins and his future already Dustin jumping in to talk about that and I

think this is the main issue of the Vikings off season.

It is where the Vikings will reach a crossroads of what their future is going to look like is with the coming weeks and Kirk

Cousins contract situation.

And already Dustin coming in with the Vikings should follow the Kansas City lead,

let Kirk play out his contract, trade a pick and maybe a player or two, to move up and draft a quarterback high.

Never will it happen. Well, you know, crazier things have happened in Minnesota Vikings

land and we will get to that as a potential option.

But I think where I want to kick it off is not necessarily that but maybe with the least popular one

and I hope that everybody doesn't stop watching and listening when I bring this up but it is a realistic

possibility as we count down the five possibilities or options for the Vikings for Kirk Cousins future.

And the first one is to extend Kirk Cousins for a long period of time.

And I think by long-term extension,

what I mean is at least the next three years.

Now, there are some benefits to this, and I know that a lot of you are

cringing right now to even hear that there are benefits, but there are.

The first one is simply that when it comes to lowering his cap hit for next year and I'm making the argument for this
