With Vikings running back Dalvin Cook entering the last year of his rookie contract, we find ourselves asking just how valuable the former second-round pick is.
Per Cynthia Frelund of NFL.com, Cook is worth 1.3 wins during a season.
That doesn’t seem like much, but that ranks fifth among offensive players who aren’t quarterbacks in the NFL.
With nine days until the start of the 2020 season, it seems unlikely Cook will receive a contract extension before the season.
Especially after the Vikings traded for expensive defensive end Yannick Ngakoue.
If Cook can replicate last season’s success, though, it will be almost impossible for the Vikings to let him go in free agency.
Of course, that all depends on what Cook asks for
