The Minnesota Vikings reportedly "absolutely love" running back Dalvin Cook amid rumors about discussion of a lucrative, long-term contract extension.
Jay Glazer of The Athletic responded to a question Wednesday about whether the Vikings should sign Cook to a new deal or attempt to find a cheaper alternative for the future.
"Extension. Running backs are hard to do extensions with, and we've seen them not work out with guys in recent years," Glazer wrote. "Teams can see if they can get guys later in the draft, but I think Cook is special. When a team has someone who is different and special, he is a difference-maker.
