Extending Dalvin Cook is not a good idea for the Vikings

This offseason, the Minnesota Vikings have a big decision to make with running back Dalvin Cook. Heading into the last year of his rookie contract, Cook is set to make $1.3 million in base salary and count just over $2 million against the team’s salary cap in 2020. After leading the Vikings in rushing last season, he is set for a major pay raise.

The question is should Minnesota ante up and make a hefty commitment to the Florida State alum?

Since joining the Vikings in 2017, Cook has steadily improved his performance each year, mainly due to the fact he has played in more games each season.
