The Green Bay Packers seemed to have found their next franchise quarterback. Jordan Love proved to the league that he can lead a team into the playoffs and perform on the biggest stages. Now the Packers will look to build on that success in 2024 by putting even more pieces around him.
However, there is one NFC North team who may be on the brink of losing the one person who many thought was the biggest reason for their success.
Green Bay Packers Rival May No Longer Have Their Starting Quarterback In 2024

Taylor Hartman of Gridiron Heroics highlighted what exactly is going on with Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings:
The Minnesota Vikings and quarterback Kirk Cousins have been at a stand-still in contract negotiations since the beginning of the offseason. This has led to a lot of speculation that the veteran quarterback could sign with a new squad in this year’s free agency as he is set to become one of if not the most sought-after players on the open market.
The Vikings have received a lot of criticism from fans and analysts for not making a decision on Cousins right away, saying that they have handled the situation poorly if they intend to retain the veteran quarterback.
Minnesota signed the quarterback to a single-year extension two years ago to lower his cap hit for the 2022 season, which the team amounted to a 13-4 record and a divisional crown. Both sides had contract talks once again last year but were unable to agree. Even though Cousins suffered a torn Achilles in 2023, the overall feeling in Minnesota seems to keep the veteran with the squad.
While the front office consistently says they would like to keep Cousins, the overall belief around the league is the Vikings will set him free this offseason to explore new options, which could ultimately land the quarterback with another franchise. While some believe that the team will let him test free agency to see what other squads think he is worth, it could come back to haunt Minnesota if there is a deal too good to pass up on.
Analysts like Mike Florio believe that the Vikings are trying to see what they will pay him based on offers from other teams, but could taint the relationship between both sides.
The Packers May Not Have To Face Cousins Ever Again?

During his career, Kirk Cousins had a passer rating of 106.7, 3,010 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions against the Packers. Throughout his career (which includes one game with the Washington Commanders and 10 with the Minnesota Vikings) Cousins is 6-4-1 against Green Bay.
While the Vikings haven’t found much post-season success with Cousins, he has certainly played well against Green Bay. If the Vikings were to move on from him and draft a rookie quarterback or target a veteran in free agency, Packers fans wouldn’t be too upset.
