Dalvin Cook wants to be a Miami Dolphin and could possibly be released from the Minnesota Vikings.
$14M cap hit for Vikings if they keep him as is, less than $10M for whoever would land Cook.
$7M-Cedric Wilson, move him on his way and while you are at it, trade Igbo for like a 6th or 7th and clear out $10M in cap space +$3M they are UTC right now
MoP Math always bad but this works.
Offense would jump to another level with Cook, he's amazing.
Dalvin wants to be a dolphin but he also wants to get paid. Should be interesting bc it is not like he will not have other suitors. (also, it will be interesting to see if it happens around the draft or after June 1st where Miami gets the jones money on their books). Miami is going to likely be a three headed committee. I do not think RB is a priority in this offense (even Shanny didn't commit to one until CMAC fell into his lap)
Miami's failure to run the ball in the 4th Q and close games out was lacking last year and I think a go to guy would help.
Not a lot of starting spots open on this team.
As we look at 51 and 84 on the horizon, I still like the idea of a fast speedy RB, a new TE prospect that hopefully falls down the boards. Dell at WR-Houston is intriguing but I'm not sure where he fits but he has the speed and could be useful. I don' think every person the Phins sign to a contract is going to make the team. Robbie Anderson might not be here Week 1, we'll see.
I can see a lot of different IOL and potential RT prospects at 51, there are also Centers from the Big 10 that would push Connor Williams back inside to LG, I thought he did a great job at Center last year. There are similar types around at No 84 but I can't see Miami going OL twice.
OL/TE would help the running game, Cook rumors are pretty substantial right now, agree he wants to get paid but most of his guaranteed money is over in his current deal.
I think Cook would be a tremendous addition, don't see why Gaskin and Ahmed have to be on the roster, big deal they resigned, they might not make it.
#3 Rated team overall roster, can't take a lot of projects, need the finishing touches. I could see Miami trading down, I could see Miami trading up if they find the impact player they want. Van Ginkel resigning doesn't make me eager to want to take another Edge rusher, we should have plenty between the Top 3-4 plus a DL with Ogbah-Wilkins-Sieler, Miami should be loaded on Defense. Some websites have Miami needing a Cornerback or Safety, I don't see that as a big need after free agency and the players we have coming back. I also think the Vic Fangio hiring will take the defense to new heights.
