Vikings' contract talks with Dalvin Cook stall

The Vikings have reached an impasse in negotiations on a new contract for running back Dalvin Cook, after talks broke off between the team and Cook’s agent on Wednesday.

Cook continued to participate in practice, splitting first-team snaps Wednesday with Alexander Mattison during 11-on-11 drills.

Cook, 25, said last week in a videoconference that he would be “full-go” in training camp, even without a new deal, and that his focus was on getting ready for the season.

The latest development in a fraught set of negotiations, however, comes with less than four weeks before the Vikings are scheduled to open the season at home against the Packers.
