Vikes releasing Davin Cook?

[T-RO]

This forum never fails to entertain.

Keep Zeke. Keep him.
then...
How about Ekeler?
then...
Sign Henry. Sign him.
then...
Sign Cook. Sign him.

No matter how often you tell fans here that aging running backs just aren't worth much...no matter the evidence...some never, ever learn.

Cook's YPC...
2020: 5.0
2021: 4.7
2022: 4.4

Who here knows how trends work?

Buffalo has a number of good backs. Not sure why people are always throwing buffalo into every running back discussion

They were frustrated with their rushing offense last year so I can understand why the connection would be made. Whether they would consider Cook an upgrade at the right price and be ready to let someone go is probably the better question. Of course they have been very active in upgrading their OL so they may go with the approach of putting the money there & rely on a rotation of backs.

I think he goes to the dolphins.

 

[Rayman70]

if he can stay healthy and pass block, Im in. Not sure hes any different than the guys we already have.

 

[Strykerscm]

He’ll be a skin

 

[Aven8]

If I’m the Gents I’m taking back the Franchise Tag and signing Cook.

Side note on Cook: Over 1500 career touches and he hasn't ever fumbled.

That's not true....Nfl.com lists 17. Other places list 19.

I hear you but I think Barkley would sign with a team that would come back and bite the Giants. You could argue that Barkley was the best running back in the league last season.

They have a bunch of guys (JAGS) plus his brother plays there. Buffalo is just an example plenty of teams would want Cooks services. He won’t be on the street for long.

Thanks for this stat to show the decline has started for Cook.

It'll be telling if the Cowboys pursue Dalvin. I have no problem with them bring Cook in because he's still better than Jones even on his decline. I'm not criticizing a Pollard, Vaughn, Cook backfield.

Why get young fresh cheap legs when you can overpay a less productive vet????..lol 100 % agree

 

[Hardline]

Now you support Dak oh god lol….all you do is say he ducks 24/7. This thread is about Dalvin Cook and once again you derail it with a Dak comment….keep it up and you too can finally be accepted by fellow Dak haters. I’m shocked they haven’t accepted you yet you out in a lot of hateful work.

Who are the Dak haters?

 

[fivetwos]

I would bring him in and dump Jones. Would cost 300k in guaranteed Jones money to do that.

BUT….if you’re Cook, do you want to come here with Pollard? There are probably better opportunities elsewhere.

Plus it would probably cost Stephen several nights of sleep to eat the RJones money, so I doubt it happens even though it would make us better.

It’s not really always about being as good as they can be with this FO.

I’m not a fan of retread RB in general, but Cook is better than Jones….but, revert to previous sentence.

 

[CCBoy]

Picking him up would be a good idea, dak could go back to what he does well. Hand the ball off.

I like our quarterback, But sign me up with a smile if he totes the 'tater for Dallas!

Looking at last years highlights he still has quick feet unlike Zeke. Similar to Pollard though in that he doesn't have much power at all.

His load at his current mileage, would be lower, but his production would remain high with 2 - 1,000+ yard carriers!

They signed Latavious Murray and Damien Harris to go with 2nd round pick James Cook who they love and they have utility guy nyheim hines.

They signed/drafted multiple guards and drafted a top flight tight end.

Where the bills are looking to get better is defensive end. Supposedly they offered Ngakoue an incentive laden deal to fill until von miller is ready to play from his acl injury.

We may need to find a present day version of an Alfred Morris type.

Last time I pointed them out they reported me and I got benched.
