I was actually just about to post this. Buffalo seems the most likely landing spot [Reply]
I'd consider a little bit of an over pay here. He very much fits a role that we only have a really old Mckinnon in. And didnt he and Mkinnon play together?
He's only 27 going on 28 to start the season. [Reply]

My point was some bad team will sign him for more than he's worth... If he wants what he is really worth to chase a ring, great. Dalvin Cook is still a name that will sell if someone has cap space. Won't be surprised if the Bears are a taker and over pay. D'onta Foreman and the Texas rookie aren't the same as a Cook name wise, especially after losing Montgomery. [Reply]
As others have already predicted, I think he'll be too expensive.
He does kind of fit the mold of RBs Veach seems to like going after though.
However, he's not washed by any means, posting nearly 1,200 yards rushing, a 4.4yd/avg, 8 rushing TDs, along with 2 more receiving and another 300 yds last season. And for anyone thinking he's lost a step, his longest run in 2022 was 81 yards, a career best.
Unfortunately for cash-strapped teams, that probably means he's going to get more than a vet min deal, or some prove it type of contract. [Reply]

Sooo...the same YPC as CEH.
Just goes to show people are being really fucking stupid about CEH. [Reply]

I mean, I guess that's one way to look at it. In fact, that YPC is Cook's lowest of his career. But it was also his second-highest season total rushing, and his third-highest TD total. I don't know how others would score t, but I think 2022 was his second or third-best season of his career.
He's definitely not on the decline, he's not old at 27, and he isn't coming off an injury-hampered season, so in those ways he's not a likely Veach candidate. [Reply]
