Vikings running back to Dalvin Cook will apparently play off his contract.
Cook and the Vikings broke off contract negotiations on Tuesday, reports NFL Network.
That means Cook is ready to play at $ 1.3 million this year and then go free to vote in 2021. He will be highly motivated to turn a good year with a second contract next year.
The problem for Cook over the next year, however, will be that the likely reduced salary cap will make it difficult for him to get a big deal from the Vikings or any other team. The Vikings can also use Franchise Tag to stop Cook from buying into the highest bidder himself.
Cook has had the most productive season of his three-year career after hitting a career high of 1,135 yards and 13 touchdowns while hitting a career high of 53 passes for 519 yards.
