Please go on record if that's actually the take, it's legendary. I inferred from the tweet opining "he will likely settle for less elsewhere" that what was imagined was that the elder Cook gets cut and you sign him for a more reasonable deal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrivefourfive Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 HE’S TOOOO LITTLE = injured He’s better inside runner than Cook2, but we definitely don’t need another undersized back. It’s getting silly back there. Draft Robinson to get him on that coveted rookie deal. Figure out the OLine. No high priced RB please 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herc11 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) So many people focused on $14M and can't see past that to see the statement that he's likely to receive less on the open market.

gonzo1105 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I love me some Dalvin Cook as an FSU fan and he is a good all around back but I think the tread is getting thin on the the tires. The Vikings rode him quite a bit early and he's starting to get injured. If a short term reasonable number then I can get behind it but anything over 6-7 is too rich for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) If the Bills want Bijan Robinson, they are going to have to jump in front of Dallas.

Oh the league will force it if he hits the market. There are about 20 starting RB's in UFA this year........including guys who had better years than Cook and are younger. Time is not on his side and he finished the year poorly with 3.5 ypc in last 7 games.........he should milk Minnesota for a re-structure and save what he can because it's a very fast drop from getting paid 8 figures to the veteran minimum for 28 year old RB's with his kind of mileage.

Simon Says Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Are you freaking serious? His base salary is like 10 to 12 million for 3 more years? Bills will not pay that and the " Cook & Cook" idea is ridiculous. Bills will possibly lose Singletary and might even have to cut Hines.

He won't take a significant cut to play with his brother in Buffalo. Why should he? Bills wouldn't need BOTH Cooks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less is still too expensive. Not like he’s gonna sign for $4M or something. He’s still gonna get more money than we can afford to spend on a RB. AND he’s a dome RB! We got small RBs who can’t pick up tough yards. We need guys who can run in the snow when the snow neutralizes their speed and cutting advantage. He isn’t the kind of tough runner who will excel in bad weather, and he can’t stay healthy either.
