Kirk Cousins seems to have teams willing to bend to his every whim as he gets set to begin his expected free-agent tour.

At least two teams are prepared to offer Cousins a three-year, fully guaranteed deal, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, and one or more additional teams are willing to give him a similar deal that would be nearly fully guaranteed. The winning contract is expected to make Cousins the league's highest-paid quarterback.

Cousins is widely viewed as one of the best quarterbacks to ever reach the open market. He'll be free to sign with the team of his choice as early as 4 p.m. ET Wednesday. Rapoport adds that Cousins is expected to make one or two visits before signing with a team.

The Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, and Minnesota Vikings are expected to be the final four candidates for his services.
