The Vikings reportedly could be looking to part with star running back Dalvin Cook in the coming weeks as the team’s front office continues to re-evaluate its roster ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.
Minnesota is currently exploring “all options” in regard to Cook, who is coming off his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl season, including the possibility of cutting the six-year veteran prior to the draft, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. With the ’23 draft scheduled to take place from April 27 to 29, the 27-year-old reportedly is considered to be a “name to watch” in a possible move, with the Vikings already having spoken to at least one interested club about a deal in recent months, per Fowler.
“I’m told all options are on the table, and [Cook] could be released if things don’t work out,” Fowler said Saturday. “They had talked to at least one team about a trade in the past closer to free agency, so he is certainly a name to watch.”
