The Minnesota Vikings have made a last-ditch effort to trade star running back Dalvin Cook before releasing him. Cook and the Vikings have been rumoured for a split this offseason, with the NFL franchise expected to officially release the running back on Friday.
However, ESPN reported that the Vikings would attempt to trade the four-time Pro Bowler at least one more time on Thursday before ultimately waiving him off the books for the upcoming season.
After publicly making it known that the release of Cook was in the Viking's plans, NFL teams would more than likely wait for the running back to be released, so they wouldn't have to give away current assets to acquire his services.
