Dalvin Cook News

  • Dalvin Cook receives an offer · Jun 27, 2023

    The Dolphins have made Dalvin Cook a contract offer

    Recent word has emerged that Cook has received multiple contract offers but this most recent news has been most anticipated, and most desired. The fit with the Dolphins is obvious though they would possess a very deep running back room. Regardless of that room, Cook would easily slide in as the RB1 in the offense, though is certain to lose passing down work to a combination of Devon Achane and Raheem Mostert. Expect Cook to make his decision prior to the opening of training camp. He's listed as DLF's RB25.

  • Dalvin Cook released · Jun 9, 2023

    The move was fully expected after news broke yesterday, but the Vikings took one more shot at trading the ultra-productive veteran.

    Cook is now officially a free agent and likely won't take long before answering the question as to where he'll play in 2023. While Miami and Buffalo seemingly remain the most likely landing spots, he's also been linked to both Denver and the New York Jets. Should Cook sign with the Jets, the fantasy fallout would be significant. Cook is listed as DLF's RB22. It's recommended to wait for the dust to settle related to his situation before considering acquiring Dalvin Cook.

  • Dalvin Cook to be released · Jun 8, 2023

    Per a source, the Vikings will release Dalvin Cook

    Ultimately, the Vikings couldn't get a trade done with the understanding that the team would end up releasing Cook in the end. He'll now be able to select his future team with the possibility of one last multi-year deal to end his career. Odds would seem to favor the soon-to-be 28-year-old signing with the Dolphins, returning home to Miami, though a pairing with his brother in Buffalo shouldn't be ruled out. Dalvin Cook, DLF's RB21, remains a productive option though has only eclipsed 14 games once (2022). Though a recurrent shoulder injury poses risk, Cook should remain viable as a back-end RB1 in 2023.

  • Dalvin Cook future still unclear · Jun 2, 2023

    Dalvin Cook remains with the Vikings, but for how long?

    Now beyond June 1, the team could release Cook with a friendlier cap hit. The Vikings' preferred move would be to trade the aging back, who turns 28 in August, but there's been no indications that the team is close to a deal. Cook has signaled his desire to play with his brother in Buffalo, or return home to Miami, and both teams have a need. Knowing that a release would likely result if no trade is agreed to, team's simply may wait to force Minnesota's hand. In either case, now in June, we won't be waiting long to hear the ultimate fate of Dalvin Cook, DLF's RB21.

  • Dalvin Cook receives team respect · May 14, 2023

    The Vikings reportedly want to "do right" by veteran running back Dalvin Cook

    It's a refreshing report out of the Vikings organization which wants to ensure their veteran can "go to a place where he can play and be happy." The three options remain trade, release, or remaining in Minnesota. As for the latter, it's apparent by the language the team needs to reduce his $14M cap hit but they are willing to hold onto it for now. Rumor continues to swirl about possible interest from Miami. Additionally, should the team release Cook prior to June 1st, they would save $5.9M. If released after June 1st, it's a $7.8M savings, and if they can trade him after June 1st, it's an $11M savings. Look for the team to release the veteran in early June if a trade cannot be worked out prior. Cook is listed as DLF's RB20 and turns 28 in August.

  • Dalvin Cook a trade candidate · Apr 12, 2023

    Dalvin Cook remains a trade candidate

    The Vikings are beginning a bit of a youth movement and trading Cook would save them $8M in 2023. He turns 28 in August and the team recently signed Alexander Mattison to a two-year deal to provide either starting or backup flexibility should Cook be moved. It's uncertain where the Vikings fall on Cook's status for 2023 though common logic suggests they'll listen to offers and retain the fan favorite for one more season if they don't receive an attractive offer. Cook is found as DLF's RB17 and his ranking continues to slip.

  • Dalvin Cook status still unclear · Feb 23, 2023

    There remains little clarity on what the Vikings plan to do with aging running back Dalvin Cook

    It was an up-and-down year for Cook, who turned in his second-best performance in yards-after-contact. At the same time, as pointed out in the linked article, he also turned in a career-worst average in yards-before-contract. It's unclear if Cook is beginning to lose his effectiveness as a runner. Still under contract, the team could elect to release the veteran in a cap-savings move and turn to Kene Nwangwu, Ty Chandler, or even free agent Alexander Mattison. At this juncture, it would seem a return to Minnesota remains the path of least resistance for Cook, DLF's RB17. In any case, uncompetitive dynasty teams should consider moving the back if favorable return is provided.

  • Dalvin Cook has shoulder surgery · Feb 14, 2023

    Dalvin Cook underwent shoulder surgery

    Cook has had recurrent shoulder issues dating back to 2014 but has continued to be a top back. While not a free agent, the aging veteran could still be released as the Vikings attempt to clear cap room. Cook's backup, Alexander Mattison, is a free agent and could depart for a starting role though that would leave the team without both top options. The Vikings have a big decision to make and, Cook, a fan favorite, could be a casualty. That said, the team may elect to let Mattison walk in free agency and focus on finding cheaper and more creative ways to retain Cook if he's willing. The veteran runner turns 28 in August and is found as DLF's RB17.

  • Dalvin Cook faces uncertainty · Jan 27, 2023

    Dalvin Cook faces an uncertain future in Minnesota

    Cook turns 28 in August and is coming off his fourth-straight 1,000-yard campaign though his rushing production metrics dipped. Still averaging 4.4 ypc. and scoring eight touchdowns, Cook is still a productive back and remained healthy, but the Vikings clearly face a tough decision even with the veteran under contract through 2025. Backup runner Alexander Mattison is a free agent and is expected to depart for a potential starting role. Also weighing on the decision is the fact that the team holds only four selections in the 2023 NFL Draft. With such a high cap % wrapped up in Cook, it may be difficult for the Vikings to retain the veteran for the year to come. Dalvin Cook is listed as DLF's RB16 and is best rostered by competitive dynasty teams.
