As his search for a new team continues, former Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has reportedly been presented with multiple contract offers recently.
When the Minnesota Vikings released Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook earlier this month, he quickly became one of the most coveted free agents on the current market.
Some thought teams might act quickly, and Cook would already have a new home for the 2023 campaign by now. But the former Vikings running back is still searching for a team to play for next season.
Despite still being without an NFL job at this moment, Cook has reportedly received contract offers from multiple teams since Minnesota released him, according to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero on Tuesday.
Miami Dolphins have reportedly made an offer to former Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook
Pelissero didn't name the multiple teams that have presented an offer to Cook, but the Miami Dolphins are reportedly among the group that has made a contract offer to the former Vikings running back, according to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson on Tuesday.
Nothing has been signed by Cook yet, and Pelissero added that it's possible that he could wait until after training camps begin around the league to join a new team.
However, Pelissero also pointed out that if Cook waits too long to sign, teams could just decide to add a cheaper free-agent running back instead, which might end up forcing the four-time Pro Bowler to sign a contract for significantly less money than what he has been hoping for.
In addition to the Dolphins, the New York Jets, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, and Dallas Cowboys are some of the teams that have been rumored to have interest in adding Cook to their roster this year.
Where will the former Minnesota running back end up? That's still up in the air, but like Pelissero pointed out, if Cook waits too long to sign with a new team, he could end up costing himself a significant amount of money.
