3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Kirk Cousins — the market puts it at 2%, closing 18 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Kirk Cousins ranks in the top five among all quarterbacks for total points scored during the 2026-27 NFL regular season. The outcome is No if he finishes sixth or lower, or does not qualify as a quarterback. Readers often mistake the linked headline about free agency for the resolution criteria, but only his official regular-season scoring rank matters.
  • Before the 2027-28 season — the market puts it at 88%, closing 30 Sept 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Kirk Cousins officially announces his retirement from the NFL before the start of the 2027-28 season. It resolves to No if he does not make such an announcement by that deadline. Readers often mistake a game appearance or team roster status for retirement, but only a formal retirement announcement counts.
  • Kirk Cousins — the market puts it at 31%, closing 18 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Kirk Cousins ranks in the top 10 among all quarterbacks for total points scored during the 2026–27 NFL regular season. The outcome is No if he finishes outside that top 10. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it depends on playoff performance or a specific contract year rather than the full regular season standings.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
