The Minnesota Vikings panicked when Kirk Cousins tore his Achilles earlier in the regular season.
They were in the middle of a favorable stretch that made it look like the Vikings were returning to the playoffs.
However, when he got injured, although the Vikings looked good at times, they ultimately fell short of their goals.
As they headed into the offseason, many questions loomed, including the status of Cousins.
It was and is unclear if Cousins will return to the team next season, although CBS Sports reporter Isabel Gonzalez has recently provided an update.
According to Gonzalez, Cousins has made several comments about potentially linking up with Bill Belichick, who remains tied to the Atlanta Falcons.
“I’m not going to turn down an opportunity to play with a future Hall of Fame coach, but we’ll have to see where March leads,” Cousins told Isabel Gonzalez. “It’s just a lot of unknowns right now,” Cousins said.
I talked to Kirk Cousins this week and he shared his thoughts on Bill Belichick:
“… you know he is usually going to break the mold and do something different, and that’s probably what has made him a great coach.”

The Falcons have already conducted two interviews with Belichick, and while it is far from confirmed, it seems like he is in line to be their next coach.
Cousins seems relatively adamant about playing for Belichick at some point in his career, and neither is getting any younger.
If the Vikings don’t re-sign Cousins, he could be on his way to Atlanta.
Despite optimism coming into the year, the Falcons couldn’t tap into their fullest potential as a team.
They have several young skill-position players who have the capabilities to make an impact on the roster, but they need a quarterback to make that happen.
If Cousins is fully healthy next year, he could be the catalyst this team needs to move forward confidently.
Will Belichick become their coach, causing Cousins to also make his way to this team?
