Minnesosta Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has accepted a two-year, $66 million contract extension among money decisions made by the team Monday.
Cousins was entering the final season of the fully guaranteed, three-year, $84 million contract he signed as a free agent in 2018.
He was scheduled to count $31 million against the salary cap, but a personal familiar with the trade tells The Associated Press the new pact will reduce by $10 million the team’s charge for 2020.
The Vikings have reached an agreement with punter Britton Colquitt on a three-year, $9 million contract, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
A person with knowledge of the decision says the Vikings have placed the franchise tag on safety Anthony Harris.
