Since he was drafted by the organization in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Davlin Cook has played his entire career NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings. But it looks like there’s a good chance his time with the team is coming to an end in the near future.
In a recent report, NFL insider Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk addressed the assumption that Cook would be remaining with the team after he wasn’t cut from the roster on March 17, allowing for a portion of his contract to become guaranteed. According to Florio, this is not the case – Florio and the Vikings are “at a crossroads.”
“But there are two important things to remember. First, it’s believed Cook couldn’t have passed a physical before March 17, due to a lingering shoulder problem. That would have prevented the Vikings from avoiding an obligation that previously was guaranteed for injury only. Second, with only $2 million guaranteed, and given that the contract undoubtedly includes an offset obligation, Cook would likely earn at least that much with another team, if/when he’s cut,” Florio wrote for Pro Football Talk on Sunday.
It’s looking like there’s a good chance Cook won’t be with the Vikings next year, and the NFL world had plenty to say about that development.
