I saw this coming. Cook might stay for 1 more yr. tops, but Alexander fills an important niche, especially next yr.

Whats crazy is they get their asses kicked as hard as anyone out there. Get chewed up and spit out and onto tge next one.

Yeah that's true but the game is focused on high scoring. I know running backs score but the wear and tear takes a toll.

Yuck. Basically Ty Chandler just got told he's collecting splinters again this season. How will the Vikings know their young guys can play if they never give them a chance and just keep recycling mediocre vets because they're vets?

I dont think this signals anything. Cook could still be moved or even cut.

I agree, not sure what it means. All the fanboy podcasters are so sure it means this or that, but unless you are privy to the Plan, hard to say.

I think it means a Cook trade is more likely now, but with plenty of money the Vikings aren't in any hurry and can wait for the best offer. Could be a draft day trade.

They could also just keep him, but I tend to think that Mattison wouldn't sign with the Vikings without some sort of signal from the team that Cook won't be there.

I agree, MB. I was thinking they'd either keep Mattison or Cook going into next season, but most likely not both. Mattison runs hard and strong and could compliment the shifty Chandler as a nice change of pace. I fully think Cook will be traded now that Mattison stays.

I can believe Cook would be here anymore either, not after this.

FWIW Mattison is the youngest RB the Vikings have on the roster.

He is still only 23 years old, I believe.

It's weird, but I'm pretty sure Hunter was the same thing, they were both drafted when they were 20 years old.

IMO this was solid move
