Longtime Viking to Be Released after 6 Seasons

But the star-studded era of running backs intermixed with Vikings football came to a temporary end Thursday, as Dalvin Cook will be released, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Schefter tweeted Thursday, “Vikings have informed Dalvin Cook that he’s being released, per source.”

Cook, 27, can now presumably join any NFL team for Year No.
