Final week the information broke that the Minnesota Vikings had been certainly going to chop star working again Dalvin Cook dinner by Friday of that week if they may not work out a commerce with one other franchise. Up till that time and ever because the rumors of the place Cook dinner would ultimately land all appeared to heart across the Miami Dolphins. A rumor that even he appeared to gasoline by tweeting a photograph of himself at Laborious Rock Stadium. I then requested the easy query, would you like the Miami Dolphins to signal Dalvin Cook dinner? Under are a few of your answers-
Alpha6 desires to jettison C. Wilson after which purchase Cook dinner.
Commerce that Dallas reject Receiver onboard. Get Cook dinner..!
Sinjin830 additionally desires C. Wilson gone together with Gaskin, some extensions, and Cook dinner on board too!
In a phrase, YES! Lengthen Wilkins and Williams. Lower Gaskin and commerce Cedrick Wilson. I do know a variety of you need extra OL assist and I perceive that, however we’ve addressed that greater than most individuals understand. Additionally Cook dinner (if wholesome) is the sort of again who makes a line higher. Additionally for the cap gurus no I don’t know what this does to our numbers.
dolphinfan1323 simply desires a star again on the roster once more!
Hell yeah we haven’t had a star working again since Ricky Williams and the 70s earlier than that
edwinpena is all in!
Signal Cook dinner. His addition makes for higher runners, higher schemes, and total higher execution, for “Papa McDaniels”!
SuperG! desires Cook dinner on a budget if he actually desires to be in S. Florida!
If Cook dinner is so determined to be in Miami then signal him grime low-cost. I’d hate so see the $13M cap area go to him when we’ve a much bigger priorities in extending Wilkins contract and even perhaps spending it on discovering an additional RT.
Molly Polly II is not able to do something till we lock down Wilkins for the long run.
Easy reply, No, not till we handle Wilkins!
FLSurferMikeNowNCSurferMike is clearly not in!
Nooooooo
Dolfriend is in and has a full plan laid out.
Do it! Commerce Jeff Wilson for Cook dinner (Save $2.2M). They get an affordable RB with a 4.7 AVG/Carry and we get Cook dinner. Restructure Cook dinner’s deal to be $6M/YR for 2 years, $5M assured 1st yr. Enormous improve and defenses will probably be compelled to maintain extra within the field, opening up the passing recreation. Fins may have a real balanced assault that will probably be arduous to defend. Tua will get a real run risk to take some warmth off the frenzy and provides him 3 YACster choices out of the backfield to dump off to within the passing recreation. Cook dinner will get to play in his hometown for a SB contender, zero state taxes, with a Run Guru, who will know find out how to use him. Cook dinner RB 1; Mostert RB 2; Achane RB3 Change of Tempo & ST; Ahmad Again up; Lower Gaskin
Adawge53 desires Cook dinner on the proper worth as he’ll elevate the expertise within the RB room in addition to for your complete offense.
Cook dinner would assist elevate the ground of the RB room and put extra expertise round Tua. He can be the perfect twin risk possibility and would take some consideration away from Hill and Waddle. Cash will probably be an element however keep in mind that Florida has no revenue tax whereas Minnesota has a number of the highest revenue taxes. So a $5 million contract put more cash in his pockets when he lives in Florida than it will have if he restructured his contract in Minnesota. If all events have an interest and he isn’t paid an exorbant amount of cash then I believe you add as many playmakers as doable and determine the remainder out later.
Blaze453 is right. All of us desire a rattling proper sort out!
I do know everyone desires a proper sort out, however there isn’t one in free company that’s any higher than the final two we simply signed. Logic has to get higher at each place and prepare dinner would make us higher within the working again room. Clearly, the associated fee must be on the decrease finish of the spectrum, however yeah, having three beginning sort working backs on the roster and evolving injured prior to now can be a great factor . The one approach we get a automated beginning proper sort out is that if we commerce for him. However contemplating the shortage of draft picks, we’ve had the final two seasons, beginning proper sort out will price us a minimal of a second spherical, decide, contemplating we don’t have a 3rd spherical, decide that we misplaced, we’re actually not able to have the ability to exit and get a proper sort out. Now if you wish to discuss a guard in Reisner, I can see it.
ElPasoPhinFan likes Cook dinner for his dual-threat potential!
Cook dinner is a superb match for what the offense lacks (a RB that could be a risk catching or working). Final 12 months the beneath move catching possibility was missing. Mostert and Wilson are good working the ball within the broad zone run scheme however are restricted as route runners/move catchers. Similar to McCaffrey was an enormous increase to the 49ers offense (identical system BTW), Cook dinner has the identical potential to make this offense even scarier than it already is. Archane was drafted to play that beneath RB move catcher position however he’s a rookie and nobody is aware of how efficient he’ll be till seen in reside video games. For rookie RB’s it’s extra than simply going out for a move on a move play, they’ve to know move blocking ideas/blitz assignments/ a number of play alignments (1 play set up could be 9 totally different performs). Pure expertise is just not sufficient on the NFL stage to get enjoying time. Cook dinner is a confirmed commodity, simple choice if they will work out a deal. Let me add, I additionally wished they’d executed a bit of bit extra for the OL. If the season goes down in flames I believe it’ll be the OL that sinks it. However at this level with all of the sensible upgrades @ RT gone I believe Cook dinner might be the clearest improve with the most important doable affect that may be made at this level so I’m all for it.
daytonadolfan beloved him for his Noles however now’s a bit weary of his NFL damage historical past.
I beloved Cook dinner at Florida State and he had some good moments with the Vikings however accidents are a priority to me. Now we have a stacked R.B. room as it’s so why tip the kettle? If we do land him I’ll nonetheless be pleased simply apprehensive.
dolphinfan4lyfe desires to see a few of our personal locked down first!
Simply going to attempt to use logic right here. Whereas the thought of signing him is interesting, there’s a couple elements to contemplate. 1. Wilkins: By getting this deal executed, it might actually enable us the chance to create much more cap area, which might Ideally be used to fund the second transfer. 2. Connor Williams: Including 3 years to his contract in addition to monetary safety for him permits us to proceed to have a cornerstone to construct off of even after the eventual lack of Armstead. After these two strikes I’d take into account signing him to be cheap, so long as it permits us to proceed to have some cap area to both roll over or make a transfer right here or there.
DavidPhinFan is usually pleased that he is not the set off man for any deal come what may.
That is difficult as a result of on one hand you’ve a stacked RB room and doubtless don’t want one other individual to separate snaps. Nevertheless, everyone knows how frequent RB accidents are so including Cook dinner may very well be an excellent transfer. Plus he’s nonetheless in all probability higher a greater RB than anybody on our roster. We additionally want to contemplate problems proper now as a result of cap area is dwindling and Williams desires a brand new contract. Cook dinner will price us. Wilkins will in all probability create some area however we have to preserve some carryover for emergency. We additionally want to contemplate is the signing going to be price it contemplating how strapped had been are with already projected to be over the cap by 31 million subsequent 12 months. Will he signal low-cost sufficient for us? So total, I’m glad I don’t need to make this choice. Both approach, signal or don’t signal you possibly can remorse it.
Dwadeshouse likes Cook dinner however thinks the cash is best spent elsewhere.
As ive mentioned beforehand. Wouldnt be my first option to spend the cash. I believe that ought to be OL first (none available on the market i like) and WR3 second (D-Hop can be extra impactful on this offense imo, however he sounds unaffordable presently) However i’ve to confess Cooks been insanely productive thus far in his profession and – based on studies – totally wholesome for the primary time in years. He would additionally make Wilson expendable and thats probably cash you possibly can subract to melt Cooks cap hit. Signing Cook dinner and having to pay him will in all probability pressure MM to utilise the run recreation extra too. Not utilizing it usually sufficient was arguably MMs achilies heel final season. Even video games we had been working the ball at will, he would nonetheless name a move heavy offensive recreation, which he admitted himself. Cook dinner in all probability forces him to spherical out his play calling a bit extra – which might be an excellent factor for us offensively.
As standard on this planet of Miami Dolphins fandom, there’s a break up. Some would signal him yesterday whereas others see him as a luxurious given a number of the different holes on the roster. As all the time thanks to everybody that took the time to reply and provides their ideas.
