Minnesota is coming off a year where it made the playoffs and defeated the Saints in its first game.
One of those players that helped the Vikings get to that point, will hold out until he receives a new deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The decision to extend Cook or not becomes a crucial one for making sure the offense has its leading rusher. Bleacher Report thinks that’s the biggest looming decision for the Vikings right now.
Here’s what the outlet said:
“While Cook is a special back when healthy, he’s had trouble staying on the field. He missed all but four games as a rookie to a torn ACL and has missed 19 games in three seasons because of injury. The Vikings should work to grant Cook an extension he finds acceptable, but that deal needs to be an incentive-based one that won’t financially haunt Minnesota if he again misses significant time.”
I think extending Cook is a move you have to make in this context. Here’s why.
