Very surprising

Soooooo?  Why would he be back with Cook still on the team?

That was my thought, but maybe the RB market just isn't there and now you have Zeke Elliot out there. I thought for sure he'd be gone or the only way he would re-sign is if they traded Cook. He is a quality backup though, so happy to have him back in the fold

Really believe they either trade or cut Dalvin

Somehow I just don't see them keeping both Mattison and Cook on the roster.  Mattison already expressed he want to be a starting running back somewhere...and I don't see Cook settling for being a backup especially with his salary.

Teams with a big need at RB just aren't out there and now you have Elliott on the market and Austin Ekler being allowed to negotiate his own trade. Sanders just signed in Carolina. There are teams in the draft who are going to take a hard look at Bijan Robinson. So maybe Mattison just didn't receive the interest he was expecting and decided it wiser to re-sign with the Vikings who he is familiar with and has a role.
