Dalvin Cook

[Spider-Dan]

Last year, MIA had Mostert, Gaskin, Ahmed, and Edmonds/Wilson.
There's no change in roster spots to field Mostert, Wilson, Achane, and Cook.

As an FSU fan I would like to see this but I don't think it will happen. I can't see us spending that much money on a position that is that we don't put a ton of value on. Our receivers are our bread and butter of the offense. I think Cook is using Miami to get more money from Denver and others.

He's been saying he wants to go to Miami for awhile now. It's possible he just wants more money, but it won't be a lot more anywhere else. Plus, this is a Superbowl team, what is he going to do in Denver but be cold and win 6 games?

[EDGECRUSHER]

Reports are saying that Cook is looking for "significant money" this offseason. So, if he holds firm to that, he won't be a Dolphin. Truth is, I don't think he will be playing because very few teams have significant money left at this stage of the offseason and the ones who do generally are terrible.

This might be a leak from his agent to get the bidding up, his best bet is to sign the small deal with Miami, have a monster yera in our offense and then get the big contract next offseason.

The longer this goes the more it looks like he's about the money. Rumor is the Dolphins are around 5 million and he's wanting 10 million. Even if those numbers are off a little they are still worlds apart.

I don't think we even have $10 Million to give since we have to sign the draft class and no one wants to have $.49 left in Week 1 in case something comes up. Not even a matter of if we think he's worth it, just a finance game at this point. Being a June 1st cut hurts the players since rosters are mostly set and money is mostly spent, he's going To have to understand that or sign for $3 Million in Week 3 for some team with a bad offense that hurts his value going into 2024.

[CF DolFan]

He's a luxury for the Dolphins and why I never felt he was ever going to be one. RBs can lose their career faster than anyone so you know he wants as much as possible. See Ezekiel Elliot.

We've signed everyone except Smith from the draft.

Is the money we saved from cutting Jones even being used to sign our draft class? Seems like those two numbers have always been mentioned separately.

Hard to get the numbers down as a few places have different ones,  but the Jones money helped sign the draft class or a few of them and we have maybe $9 Million left? Even with that, hard to upgrade at RT if one falls in our laps at the last second, especially not if we give it all to Cook.

[CF DolFan]

Rumor is the Dolphins have offered him a contract and are awaiting a response.

[Phishfan]

Rumor is he has multiple offers. Until he signs something I've stopped giving it any attention.

Same. It's sad but these guys need to realize the days of paydays for running backs are over. The kid we just drafted in the 2nd round is receiving high praise already and it wouldn't be shocking if he posts similar averages to Cook this season. I will still take Cook at the right price if that's an option, but I don't think the team is sweating if he goes elsewhere. Just preferable he doesn't go to an AFC rival.

No offense but the kid we just drafted hasn't been hit once yet. I wish I had a dollar for every person who looked world class in the offseason workouts and then tanked once the season began. I laugh because even Omar said Liam Eichenberg is looking better than Conner Williams at center based off of no hitting practices.

edited to add that according to Joe Rose the other day .... Dalvin has been training with Tua and some others in South Florida. Make of it what you will as Dalvin is from there but that's the story.

I think there was a report a few weeks back that Cook was working with Tua's trainer at the time.
