Vikings Still Trying To Trade Dalvin Cook
2 years agoUpdating a previous report, the Minnesota Vikings are expected to try and trade four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook one more time on Thursday, and if they are unable to, they would plan to process his official release on Friday, according to a source. The Vikings have been planning for Cook's departure all offseason, and although a few teams have been mentioned as potential trade partners, at this point it's most likely that he'll be outright released. While the 27-year-old has dealt with nagging injuries, he's still managed four straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons in Minnesota. He's coming off offseason shoulder surgery, but it's not expected to impact his availability for the 2023 campaign. Where Cook lands in free agency will determine his fantasy value for the upcoming season, but he's unlikely to land a role as a three-down workhorse back.
