Kirk Cousins has no doubt about where he wants to spend the rest of his career, even after negotiations with the Minnesota Vikings on a contract extension broke down this winter.

"I want to be in Minnesota," Cousins said. "That's kind of a no-brainer. Hopefully, we can earn the right to do that."

Cousins, who will turn 35 in August, is in the final year of a series of contracts that have paid him $155 million since the Vikings signed him in 2018.

Minnesota selected BYU's Jaren Hall in the fifth round as a developmental prospect, and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said afterward that "every option is open to us going forward" at the position, including signing Cousins to a new deal.

"In this league, there should never be entitlement," Cousins said. "You've always got to go play, and teams can do whatever they want to do. That's their prerogative. You just go to work. You do the best you can. I'm encouraged and excited because I do feel like I've got a lot of good football ahead of me."
