BONUS: Marc says: The Indians at 5-1 to catch the Twins, and the Red Sox at 16-1 to sneak past the Yankees look inviting to me. ============================================================== ESPN’s Dan Graziano is wondering: Is 2019 a ‘make-or-break’ year for Kirk Cousins in Minnesota?” Of course it’s not. Obviously, Cousins could do himself harm in the minds of Vikings fans if he doesn’t have a good year.

Try moving that deal to another team, especially after a bad year. There are some NFL players for whom this coming season really is a make-or-break one – players whose time has come to cash in on their talent and opportunity or look for work elsewhere in the 2020 offseason.
