Stunning. That’s the word I’d use to describe the Dalvin Cook cut news. ESPN’s Adam Schefter had the news alongside a myriad of other NFL insiders.

After all of the rumors, speculation, and hand-wringing, the Vikings settled on a release. The move is befuddling. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah could have designated Cook as a post-June 1 cut at any point. Why wait?
