MIAMI — With less than a week until teams begin to report for training camp, it remains to be seen whether Dalvin Cook will become a member of the Dolphins.
The All-Pro running back and Miami native reportedly has multiple offers from teams, including one from the Dolphins, but by all indications, he hasn’t received an offer he deems financially commensurate.
The 27-year-old Cook isn’t the only running back seemingly struggling to find a deal he deems adequate, though. Some of the best backs in the NFL are entrenched in tough negotiations over contract extensions. The Chargers’ Austin Ekeler requested a trade earlier in the offseason because of his discontent with his contract. Ekeler and Los Angeles eventually agreed to a reworked deal. And running backs who aren’t far removed from productive seasons, such as Ezekiel Elliot and Kareem Hunt, remain free agents.
