Kirk Cousins should be the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in 2022.

Speaking at his introductory press conference on Thursday, new coach Kevin O'Connell said he anticipates Cousins will continue to be the team's quarterback despite questions surrounding his future.

"Well, I know he's under contract and I'm excited to coach him," O'Connell said. "We've already started thinking about how we're going to build those systems for him and our other quarterbacks and really the tremendous skill group that we have, our guys up front. It takes all 11 to move the football on offense, to run it, to throw it, to score points in the red zone. But I'm anticipating Kirk being a part of what we do."
