On June 23rd, it was reported that the Miami Dolphins and running back Dalvin Cook were in talks about a possible contract. Cook, who is entering his fourth season in the NFL, is coming off a career-best season with the Minnesota Vikings. In 2019, Cook rushed for 1,135 yards and 13 touchdowns, while also adding 53 receptions for 519 yards and another score.
The Dolphins have been looking to upgrade their running back position for some time now. They have been linked to several free agents, including Melvin Gordon and Carlos Hyde. However, it appears that they have set their sights on Cook. If they are able to sign him, it would be a major coup for the Dolphins.
Cook is one of the most dynamic running backs in the league. He has the ability to run between the tackles and also catch passes out of the backfield. His versatility would be a major asset for the Dolphins’ offense. He would also provide a much-needed boost to their running game, which ranked 24th in the league last season.
The Dolphins have been busy this offseason, making several moves to improve their roster. Signing Cook would be another step in the right direction for the team. It remains to be seen if the two sides can come to an agreement, but it is clear that the Dolphins are serious about upgrading their running back position.
It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out over the next few weeks. If the Dolphins are able to sign Cook, it would be a major boost for their offense. It could also help them take the next step towards becoming a playoff contender in 2020.
