Although Dalvin Cook has been a free agent for less than three weeks, the former Minnesota Vikings running back has plenty of offers.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero joined “The Rich Eisen Show,” where he mentioned that Cook is weighing multiple offers with around a half-dozen teams expressing interest.
Pelissero specifically mentioned the Denver Broncos, New York Jets, New England Patriots and Cook’s hometown Miami Dolphins.

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald later confirmed the Dolphins’ interest, stating that they have submitted an offer and that there’s “mutual interest” between the two sides.
Cook, 27, hit the open market 18 days ago and is expected to wait for the right offer to surface. Pelissero also mentioned that he expects Cook to receive a significant contract offer.
Before his release, Cook was set to receive $11 million in base salary from the Vikings and count for $14 million against the cap.
Although injuries have limited Cook in the past, he has remained highly effective. Cook ran for 1,173 yards and eight touchdowns last season, marking his fourth career season with over 1,000 rushing yards.
