Fantasy Impact:
“The number has dropped in recent negotiations to under $15 million, but neither side has yet to come to an agreement,” Croonin added. “It’s more reasonable to think the Vikings could offer the $13 million-per-year range given Cook's value, injury history, their salary cap situation and the value of running backs in today's NFL. That's still top-five money at the position and would allow him to earn what Houston's David Johnson is set to make in 2020. And it's an offer sources say Cook would gladly take.” Cook announced on Monday that he is holding out until a “reasonable deal” can be reached. He will not report to camp and beyond. The 24-year-old is looking to be one the NFL’s top paid running backs. A deal of $13 million annually would certainly put him in the top-five. Cook, when healthy proved to be one of the Vikings top offensive weapons, rushing for 1,135 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2019. With the recent news of a holdout, Cook has dropped to fifth among all running backs in the latest expert consensus rankings.
