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.

Dalvin should get REAL interested in a pay cut.

If the Bills want Bijan Robinson, they are going to have to jump in front of Dallas. Jones will upgrade his run game with Robinson and cut Elliott.

And he might be willing to do so if it means playing with his brother on a playoff team with a top 3 QB. I doubt he takes a real discount unless the league forces it through market value, but who knows. The possibility of playing on the same team as your brother and winning a Super Bowl is an extremely rare opportunity.

$12M less? If so I'm in. 

 

Paying RBs is almost always a bad move.

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.

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.

$14 mil, uhhh no thanks. I think they said Motor would be looking for a contract for $5 mil

His salary is closer to 10,which the Bills would have to pay, but they wouldn't have to pay the bonus money which is 3 or 4 million this year. That's the Vikes responsibility.

Doesn't matter how warm & fuzzy it would make Cook feel. He won't take a significant cut to play with his brother in Buffalo. Why should he? Bills wouldn't need BOTH Cooks anyway.

Not a chance in hell

 

This team is not paying big money for a running back nor should they

 

Draft one

[mikemac2001]

That’s simply too many Cooks in the kitchen for Russ to cook or ride

Are you insane?  You don't pay RBs 14.1 million in the NFL anymore.

 

    I am guessing the OP means to sign Darvin when he goes shopping for new team.  I just do not see him going from 14m to a vet min type deal.  

So no we won't have too many cooks in the backfield.

"Headline readers" are bad enough, and we apparently have "First half of the headline readers".

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.

Can he play tackle better than Spencer Brown though.

If his feet aren’t paralyzed then yes he can.
