I am good to 8 with another 4 in likely to be earned incentives tied to availability ( games played, rushing yards, etc) ,  and add another 4 for top level accomplishments like rushing leader,  yards from scrimmage leader,  etc.

at 13 million a year or more,  how much more does Cook help the O vs what we could get from Mattison?  We arent going to argue that he doesnt make the O better,  but how much better and is it worth the extra cap money,  especially on a guy with health concerns.

Mattison is a good looking back, but he's not on Cook's level. I know everyone knows that, but I think people underestimate just how much of a drop off there would be.

And Cook doesn't have "health concerns." He has an injury history. There's a difference. You would hope this might keep his cost down, but it rarely does. I think it's because FO's know that all backs suffer injuries and nobody can predict when, or to whom, they will happen. And they even out over time. It's just as likely that CMac misses games due to injury as it is Cook. In fact, the law of averages would probably favor Cook.

Don't want to curse Dalvin, but what'd I tell ya? B)
