They have 2 others, but I don't believe they were recently signed, unless 3-4 weeks ago is "recent." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is the analytics would suggest moving on from an aging and injury prone RB, no matter how talented. If Kwesi is following the analytics on this one, I’m inclined to believe it will be Mattison and Chandler as a 1:2 punch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would find it difficult for them to take the $6M cap hit cutting Cook only to resign Mattison for approximately the same amount (it may not be that much, but Chase Edmonds did get that)...you may as well keep Cook. You're only saving a couple of million dollars, which probably ain't going to get you very far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fobos Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Here are #s 9-28. 9. RB – Alexander Mattison (69.5)10. LG – Ezra Cleveland (68.7)11. WR – Justin Jefferson (68.5)12. RB – Dalvin Cook (67.1)13. WR – Adam Thielen (66.5)14. FS – Camryn Bynum (65.7)15. WR – K.J. Osborn (65.5)16. NT – Harrison Phillips (65.1)17. SS – Harrison Smith (64.9)18. TE – Johnny Mundt (63.6)19. LB – Eric Kendricks (62.0)20. CB – Patrick Peterson (61.5)21. FB – C.J. Ham (59.9)22. TE – Irv Smith (59.4)23. DL – Jonathan Bullard (58.1)24. CB – Cameron Dantzler (58.0)25. CB – Chandon Sullivan (56.6)26. RG – Ed Ingram (56.2)27. EDGE – D.J. Wonnum (55.2)28. LB – Jordan Hicks (55.1) It's PFF, and three games is a small sample size, but there are definitely some surprises. Overall the scores are fairly low. Hopefully players get settled into the new schemes, etc. before too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only saving a couple of million dollars, which probably ain't going to get you very far. It all adds up. The bigger question is who will be the better player in 2023 and beyond considering injury history and mileage. That may not necessarily favor Cook and if there is cap savings to be had, granted, not much, it’s worth considering. We’re already talking about Cook being injured and it’s week 4. Would I rather pay Cook or Mattison $6m in 2023, I think this season could guide us to the answer. Maybe the answer is neither and draft someone considering the OL is doing a pretty good job.
