Kirk Cousins has his first visit set.
Cousins will visit the Minnesota Vikings over the next two days, according to the NFL Network. Cousins will first have dinner Wednesday with Vikings coaches and executives, before visiting the facility on Thursday.
The Vikings are the front-runners for Cousins — and ESPN reported he is expected to sign in Minnesota.
The NFL Network reported the Vikings have offered Cousins a three-year, $84 million contract.
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.”

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.

The fit for the two parties makes perfect sense, given the Vikings have elite talent on both sides of the ball and Minnesota needs a quarterback. The Vikings watched Case Keenum, last year’s starter, sign with the Denver Broncos late Monday.
