Have a feeling we are going to miss Dalvin Cook - its not just a matter of “yards” its a matter of toughness and “availability” - its a long season, Cook was tough as nails for us
He won't be coming to Minnesota, that's for sure. And who's going to give up what Indy would want?

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be....running backs? That seems to be the theme. None are worth what they think. And that worth goes down every year.
If Taylor weren't lobbying for an extension and presumably insisting that a new contract be part of the deal, the Colts could probably get a 1st or 2nd rounder for him. Put the contract demand in there and it goes down significantly I think.
I suppose the bears are one of the few teams that could afford him right now. Question is do they want that contract on a RB?
According to Darren Wolfsen, Jonathan Taylor's agent would "love to involve the Vikings" as a potential landing spot for the star running back as they see the offense as a great fit for Taylor's skill set.
