Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is glad he no longer has to be on the receiving end of Za’Darius Smith blowing up the offensive backfield and making plays.
Getting the former Green Bay Packer to jump ship on a three-year, $42 million deal has been the highlight of NFL free agency for the Vikings. Now, the team gets to sit back and watch Smith terrorize other offenses instead of terrorizing them twice a year.
“Yeah, I’m glad we got 55 from the Packers. He’s a problem,” Cook told media members on Tuesday. “Teaming him up with Danielle [Hunter] is going to be something special.”
