Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has held steadfast on running back Dalvin Cook, keeping him on the roster despite the rumors that he won’t be on the roster this year.
The reason Adofo-Mensah has played the waiting game is likely the same reason why he held onto Za’Darius Smith for so long: finding a trade partner. With June 1st looming, teams around the league will be gaining salary cap space due to their post-June 1st cuts. Two of the top three team on that list are prime trade candidates for Cook: Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys.
