Cousins arrives at $84M, 8-7-1 disappointment

Minnesota signed Kirk Cousins to a fully guaranteed three-year, $84 million contract in March and went 8-7-1, missing the playoffs by a tiebreaker. Cousins threw for 4,298 yards but the offense, in John DeFilippo's only year as coordinator, never found its rhythm. DeFilippo was fired in mid-December for ignoring offensive coordinator suggestions to lean more on the run game.

The defense, under Mike Zimmer, ranked top five in points allowed, but the team lost too many games it should have won. Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs both cleared 1,000 receiving yards. The franchise spent the offseason restructuring contracts to keep the core in place after the expensive Cousins deal.
