Assessing Dalvin Cook’s market value ahead of contract talks

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is heading into the final year of his rookie deal in 2020, which will see him make just over $1.3 million.

This represents a significant discount given the level of production Cook managed throughout the 2019 campaign, where he overcame recent injury struggles to play a leading role in the Vikings securing a playoff berth.

According to multiple reports, the former second-round pick out of Florida State and Minnesota will likely be working on a possible extension this offseason. Potentially, it could be the largest contract the organization has dished out to a running back since Adrian Peterson signed a seven-year, $100 million deal in 2011.
