Vikes releasing Davin Cook?

[rambo2]

I'd be all over it but the Cowboys won't. They actually like Ronald Jones and just assume Pollard will be his old self even after getting burned thinking the same thing about Gallup last year.

The RB position is a real concern.

You don't care about the off the field stuff?

 

[Maxmadden]

That makes sense as well.

I'm thinking he'll join his brother on the Bills

He is not going to Buffalo and take carries away from his brother.

 

[Zekeats]

Too many Cooks in the kitchen. I didn't even want the other one.

 

[CowboyFrog]

100%. That said...it doesn't help that they got the consensus #1 overall player at #9...and we took a guy that the top 3 "draft experts" had as a 2nd rounder (assuming you don't include Jerrah in the top 3 like I do).

Oh well.

lol I'm sure you thought the eagles draft last year was awsome also and on the field it was ok but thier FA's are who did damage. If you think Mazi is a reach thats fine but when the "Best Player" in the draft turns into a problem (you know because of the reasons he fell to #9) and Mazi is a every week contributor maybe things will look diferent for you.

A decent chance that Mazi will be better than Carter. That would be awesome if that happens.

That's been the rumor for many weeks. It's hard to see that happening but apparently the Viqueens just don't want to pay him Zeke kind of money. They don't have anyone on their roster to replace him. He won't last long in FA.

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

Alexander Mattison is his backup and he’s pretty good. He’s actually very good.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

As long as he doesn't want term, I would - I don't think he's slowed down as much as Zeke has, and he'd certainly be an upgrade to Jones and Davis.

Theu have Mattison who they just extended

 

[CowboyFrog]

they signed him for like 900k/y. The Vikings got the memo just like most in the league has.. paying an RB wont be the reason you win a SB.

They signed for 2 years 7 million

 

[CowboyFrog]

They signed for 2 years 7 million

yeah just saw that went from 900 to 3.5 still not huge. With TP at 10m if we sign a cook or anyone like that we will be north of 20m at RB this year with Zeke's dead money.

 

[Whyjerry]

More proof the RB position can’t ever be a big percent of the cap.

I didn't say I thought mazi was or wasn't a reach. I'm just citing draft experts.

 

[stilltheguru]

How do yall come on here everyday and still not know anything about the nfl? There's literally zero chance cook is coming here. Goodness

 

[GINeric]

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

Well if all he does well is hand off the ball, how does he amazingly keep himself in the top 10 out of 32 starting quarterbacks most of his career??

So according to you, there are 22 or more NFL quarterbacks who hand off the ball worse than Dak correct?

 

[GMO415]

I'd sign him over Henry

 

[AKATheRake]

I'll take Cook in a heartbeat.

No telling what Pollard will play like after that injury.

Cooks still a top back when healthy.

 

[Whirlwin]

Just like Henry...what will he cost us.

There is no way we pay him anywhere near his current salary. If released what does he want per year? Will he play for less than half his current contract average of $12.6M per? Maybe more like a third of that IMO. And if acquired in a trade what do they want back and more importantly how much of his $10.4M base will they eat?

People have to stop worrying about the Price tag. It’s always manipulated.

He will still find a way to screw it all up.

 

[Jarntt]

It's literally the single biggest deterrent to signing players or we would offer every good FA $30M per year.
