I can sort of understand a guy like Zeke or Leveon Bell holding out. But guys like Melvin Gordon and dalvin cook? Cook has exactly 1 good season, in which he played in 14 games. Does he seriously think Minnesota will pay him? RBs need to realize that their position just doesn’t have the pay potential as other ones. Holding out isn’t fooling anyone. If you are going to hold out you also need to have more than 1 good season. If Cook was coming off of back to back very good to great seasons and had one more year left on his deal I would say you could at least hold out under the idea of "I have proven what I am." Cook hasn't proven he is able to stay on the field consistently and produce yet he wants a new deal? The gaul to say you want a deal after one good season at a less than premium position is just laughable. If you were a QB who had one really good season a team would want to see you sustain success, a RB hoping for a big deal after one good season is just barking up the wrong tree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 No of course not. Minnesota's kind of a mess right now. Something tells me Cousins probably isn't going to be bringing them any rings any time soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Let's trade for Zeke too. Our four pronged running back offense will really turn heads. Heck, trade for Barkley too. Five prongs are better than four. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1998, did you not see us drafting Moss after already having Singletary. Why would we ever trade for a RB when we are set at the position, and our two guys are on rookie contracts. That makes zero sense. I understand you’re just floating it, but this won’t happen. We need to keep our draft assets. In addition, the cap will go down so we need our draft assets even more. We also have a number of people to extend like White, Milano, Dawkins, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Man Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Running backs are 4 to 5 year commodities now. How many big 2nd contract RBs are currently making the deal worth it for the team? Zeke? Mcaffrey might as he is basically a WR anyway. Cook should get on with it and realise has no leverage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t view him as elite. The only rb I’d pay more than 7-8 mill a year is an elite RB....I don’t think I’d pay him 10 a year why is he an idiot? His contract has 1 year left and he wants a new one.

machine gun kelly Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The key point is he really doesn’t have leverage. If he pulls what Bell did, how did that workout for him? He lost a $14.5 mil. Contract from Pittsburgh (a good team) for a $13.5 Mil. Contract and lost $14.5 mil. During his holdout year. He also ends up on the J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS with a coach who stinks and oh by the way doesn’t want him for the $, and didn’t use him the right way. He will go into oblivion and lose tons of $ by the time he’s done. Cook can get a decent contract in 2021 and the dumbest thing is his agent knows MN is tight in the cap which is why they let Diggs go for the picks. Cook will be lucky to get a high end contract as MN can simply move on and select another RB with one of our draft picks from the trade. This was not well played by Cook’s agent.

Cook has cards here, the Vikings cap situation notwithstanding. Minnesota is an ok team without Cook, but they're a top tier team with him. Dalvin is one of the best 3 or 4 backs in football when healthy. The time for him is now, not after another season of wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I think we’re all set here. We have two very good backs on their rookie contracts, I see no need to give up assets and pay the man huge money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to him, if he is bluffing here only, then this may be a decent tactic. But if he actually holds out, then I think he’s not being smart about it. He has no leverage. From the statements that he (or his agents) have made, it seems like this isn’t a hold-out situation. He keeps saying he wants a “reasonable deal” or “reasonable extension.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
