Dalvin Cook to be released. Cowboys interest anyone?

Ronald Jones II​

In the two seasons where he averaged at least 10 carries a game, Jones rushed for 724 and 978 yards respectively with a total of 13 touchdowns. Not only is he a quality ball-carrier, he is also a threat in the passing game. During those same two years where his rushing attempts were at its peak, Jones would catch a total of 59 passes for 474 yards and a touchdown. The numbers don’t lie, he is an effective player when he is utilized properly and as Tony Pollard’s backup he will be a welcomed addition to the team.

Hunter Luepke​

Last, but certainly not least, is another rookie looking to make his mark in a different way. That player is Hunter Luepke. Luepke went undrafted but was a hot commodity once the draft had concluded and wound up signing with America’s Team. The former North Dakota State Bison was listed at fullback, but during his days in Fargo he was deployed in various ways. In each of the last three seasons, he has carried the ball at least 84 times with an average yards per carry of six. In addition to a tremendous yards per carry average, he scored 23 touchdowns on the ground during this stretch as well which makes him quite the red zone threat.

Speaking of that red zone threat, it isn’t just a ground game thing for him as in the final two years on campus he scored a total of seven receiving touchdowns. He’s not just a scoring threat, he is a quality blocker as well. He isn’t the fastest player on the field, but has enough speed to challenge defenses no matter where he is deployed. His 6-1, 236-pound frame makes him the biggest ball carrier currently on the roster. Due to this, it would be wise to deploy him in short yardage situations as well as on special teams.

This preseason is going to be fun to watch.

Just like Hopkins, it all depends on how much he wants.

For the right price I say make him an offer if for no other reason so they can FINALLY move on from Zeke.

They have moved on from Zeke. All the talk about him "returning" to Dallas, etc. is nothing bu that, talk designed to pump him up so that some other team will take a chance on him, since he did so much for the Cowboys for several years.

He's not coming back to the Cowboys, rest your concerns....

He could come back if they have some injuries.

Anything is possible, but it's extremely unlikely. If you're a worry wart, feel free, can't help you there....

It doesn't worry me at all.

I dunna believe Hopkins is overrated.

Welcome to the minority. NFL GM's disagree with you.

Jerald included, me lord.

 

[manster4ever]

This isn't happening, though I wouldn't mind it at all if it did. Would love to be wrong but he'll cost too much

 

[KeepinTime]

I would welcome him. I think he’s going to end up in Miami. It’s where he wants to be and I think he would accept less to go back to south Florida.

This is what’s going to happen. Dude is pining to go there and his agent has made it known.

Report: Dalvin Cook wants something “far closer” to $10.4 million than $5 million​

Posted by Mike Florio on June 14, 2023, 1:54 PM EDT


Cook will make $2 million from the Vikings this year, if he doesn’t play. He’ll likely get much more than that, whenever and wherever he signs.

The question is how much will he get? And is he looking for top dollar or an opportunity to play for a contender?

He also could wait for an inevitable injury to create an opportunity both to be “the guy” and to be paid accordingly.

Potential destinations currently include the Dolphins, Jets, and Cowboys.
