Minnesota Vikings

Dalvin Cook will holdout unless new deal is struck
Cook has one year, $1.3 million left on his contract
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 8 2020, 5:39 pm

Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook no longer will participate in any team-related activities until and unless he receives what he determines to be a "reasonable" deal, a source said Monday. "He's out," a source told ESPN. "Without a reasonable extension, he will not be showing up for camp or beyond." (ESPN)

FFToday's Take: Cook is in the final year of his deal and typically these things have a way of working themselves out before any games are missed. However, with Le'Veon Bell and Melvin Gordon both missing games over the last two years due to contract disputes, Cook's stance carries risk for fantasy owners. Alexander Mattison and Mike Boone are capable backups that give the Vikings added leverage in this situation.
