RUMOR: DALVIN COOK SWEEPSTAKES FRONT-RUNNER OUT
The Dalvin Cook sweepstakes has taken another turn.
The reported front-runner for Cook's services, the San Francisco 49ers, is now out of the running.
The 49ers reportedly balked at Cook's asking price of $16 million per year.
Cook is set to become a free agent after the 2020 season.
The Minnesota Vikings have expressed interest in re-signing Cook.
Cook has been a key player for the Vikings, rushing for over 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons.
However, Cook has also dealt with injuries throughout his career.
The Vikings may be hesitant to meet Cook's asking price, but they could use the franchise tag to keep him for another year.
Other teams that could be in the mix for Cook include the Miami Dolphins and the Los Angeles Chargers.
