Kirk Cousins' career earnings surpass The GOAT after Raiders contract
· Yahoo Sports
It is good to be Kirk Cousins. He is 88-77-2 as a starter in his NFL career. That was good enough for the Las Vegas Raiders to sign the now-journeyman quarterback to a five-year, $172 million contract on April 2.
This will be the fourth team for the former fourth-round pick out of Michigan State in 2012. For an idea how financially successful Cousins has been, thanks to his $20 million guarantee for 2026, his career earnings of more than $341 million surpass the $333 million that Tom Brady earned his storied career.
