With the NFL salary cap increasing to $255.4 million per club in 2024, some quarterbacks could really cash-in. Here’s three that could do very well.
Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings
Leave it to Cousins to reach free agency in what could be a year of unprecedented NFL spending. The 35-year-old quarterback made a career out of betting on himself with a series of one-year contracts after being drafted by Washington in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
Cousins didn’t balk at playing under his $19M franchise tag in 2016 or the $24M tag he signed a year later. In 2022 he signed a one-year, $35M contract extension to remain with the Vikings.
Currently, his $231M career earnings are fourth-most among active quarterbacks. Some estimates have Cousins receiving a three-year contract with an average salary around $39M but Jim Souhan of startribune.com thinks he could sign a two-year, $90M deal with the Vikings. Given recent developments and Cousins’ financial acumen, the latter seems more likely.
