Oregon Ducks Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Lol McCafey is way overpaid and this dude wants more? Lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveOurSonics Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Not sure where the McCaffrey narrative came from. I believe Schefter reported that Cook was aiming for a contract similar to David Johnson's (3y/39m). Either way, RB contracts are becoming a serious nuisance for teams. I imagine it will be further motivation for offenses to split carries and leverage a RBBC, just so these players don't have the leverage to make such demands.

Soko Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Give him a 4 or 5-year deal deal with big payouts early (Not McCaffrey $ though) and an exit in Year 3. If he won’t accept that, let him sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Makes perfect sense for Cook not to play for 1.3M. Doesn't make much sense for him to expect McCaffery or even Johnson money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Finally has one productive, injury free season and he wants to get paid. Can't hate on him for trying, but doubt he succeeds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Cook is good, and when he's healthy and playing his best, he is close to McCaffrey in terms of talent. The problem is that I just don't think he is the kind of guy who can elevate the team enough in the playoffs to make a difference for us. A dominant defense can stop him. I'd love to keep him on the team, but not at the expense of having to cut another good player to make his contract work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hypothetical - what does Dalvin Cook get in a trade, knowing there's a contract that needs to be figured out? I have a hard time believing he'd even get a return on his original draft round - that has nothing to do with him as a player, it's just the position is no longer what it used to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His talent is a 1st rounder, his injuries a 3rd rounder, so he is probably a 2nd rounder to someone. They may even get a 3rd & 6th and call it a day. Either way, it makes sense for Cook to hold out, as his most recent tape is very good and he's on that 1.3 million for this year (and it makes sense from the injury-prone position to hold out in the last year--allows body to heal more). tl;dr maybe he'll get Brandon Cooks hot-potatoed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 Apparently, he would lose an accrued season if he doesn't report on the first day of Training Camp, per the new CBA. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 So the union effectively negotiated away the ability for players to hold out, but at least they can now smoke all the weed they want without fear of suspension. I think this may be the kind of thing Rodgers was looking at when he suggested players were pointing to "wins" in the new CBA in areas that the owners couldn't care less about, while giving the owners wins in areas that they very much cared about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Dolphins should offer a 3rd and Breida or Howard. They can afford the cap hit for a 3 year extension. But if I'm the Vikings I'm letting him sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie9er Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 In first 3 seasons has played 4 games, 11, games, 14 games in regular seasons, If you cant stay healthy at the most injury prone position you shouldnt be asking for an extension to be paid like a top running back. Especially after having only one good season so far in your career. Goes to what i always say better to not pay a running back and just draft one in 2nd or 3rd round of the draft as a replacement.
