The expectation across the NFL is that Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook could be cut by the team any day now. And once he is, there will be several suitors lining up to sign the four-time Pro Bowler.
It’s no secret that the Miami Dolphins are among those teams, as they’ve previously been mentioned in trade rumors regarding Cook. But with Cook now expected to be released by the Vikings at some point before the start of the 2023 season, the Fins are being described as a “real possibility” to try and scoop up the Florida native.
Via ProFootballTalk:
If the Vikings can’t find someone else to pay him [$10.4 million] and if they won’t pay it themselves, Cook would be cut and then possibly signed by the Dolphins.
Via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald , Cook to the Dolphins is “ certainly a real possibility” if he’s cut.
A trade also would be possible if Cook would reduce his deal to something the Dolphins would accept, but why would he agree to do anything at this point? He should hold firm and, if necessary, force the Vikings to release him.
Cook will be 28-years-old once the regular season opens, but he’s coming off his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season. He still appears to have plenty left in the tank, and there’s no doubt he could provide a huge boost to a number of NFL backfields.
Should the Dolphins be the lucky winners of the Dalvin Cook sweepstakes, they would be adding the star rusher to a loaded offense that includes the likes of Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
Cook wouldn’t be the first big-name player that the Dolphins added this offseason, either. Back in March, they traded a third-round pick and tight end Hunter Long for star cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
