- Well I guess it's Alexander Mattison time? The Purple will cut longtime RB1 Dalvin Cook by Friday, reports say. And with his release, Dalvin Cook-like Lionel Messi and most fragile, soon-to-be-retirees-now looks to be headed to Miami (his hometown).
So let's relive his six seasons in Minnesota with this highlight reel of his explosive plays as a Viking (TDs, +10 yard runs, and +20 yard passes). Here's what Kevin Seifert had to say about the news at ESPN.com:
The Minnesota Vikings have informed running back Dalvin Cook that they plan to release him, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.
The Vikings are expected to try to trade Cook one more time Thursday, and if they are unable to, they plan to process his release Friday, according to a source. Either way, this will bring an end to Cook's six-year tenure in Minnesota.
The Miami Dolphins are expected to have an interest in signing Cook once he is released, sources told Schefter.
Cook, who turns 28 in August, was set to take up $14.1 million in cap space for 2023 and was due to earn $11 million if he spent the season with the Vikings. Those are big numbers for an aging running back who surpassed 1,500 touches in his career last season.
The Vikings would owe Cook $2 million if they release him. By doing so after June 1, the Vikings would save $9 million in cap space while taking on $5.1 million in dead money on their 2023 cap.
The long-rumored split seemed certain after the Vikings re-signed Cook's longtime backup, Alexander Mattison, to a contract that included $6.35 million in full guarantees over the next few seasons. Given multiple opportunities after that move, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah refused to speculate on whether Cook would be on the Vikings' 2023 roster. Mattison is expected to take over as the team's primary tailback, with Kene Nwangwu and Ty Chandler competing for the No. 2 role.
Cook, a second-round draft pick in 2017, struggled to stay on the field for much of the early part of his career in Minnesota. His rookie season ended after four games because of a torn ACL, and an assortment of other injuries cost him between two and five games in each of the next four seasons. A chronic shoulder injury ultimately forced him to wear a harness for long stretches of his career.
He nevertheless managed to produce four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons between 2019 to 2022 and scored a combined 29 rushing touchdowns during the 2019 and 2020 seasons. He also proved to be an effective receiver, averaging 42 receptions per season after his rookie year.
Cook managed to start every game in 2022 for the first time in his career, even after separating his shoulder in Week 3. But he finished with an average of 17.8 touches and 86 yards from scrimmage per game in O'Connell's new scheme -- both the lowest since he became a full-time player in 2019.
He did knock off two of the six longest runs of his career in 2022: a 53-yard score in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins and an 81-yard touchdown in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills. On the latter, he recorded a top speed of 21.68 mph, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, the seventh-fastest speed of any ball carrier in 2022.
Cook underwent shoulder surgery Feb. 14 in hopes of avoiding the chronic separations he has had. At the time, the Vikings said he would be fully recovered in time for the regular season. He had not been participating in the voluntary portion of the Vikings' offseason program, and the timing of his departure means there will be no clash over whether he reports for mandatory minicamp later this month.

It has been an absolute pleasure watching Dalvin over the years. I expect that he will do very well for several years to come now that his shoulder is fixed. Somebody is going to get a steal picking him uo. I wish Dalvin the very best in the future (except when he plays against the Vikes).
Wow, never knew Cook had so many sacks.
Goddamnit... 🤦♂
We were blessed to have cook fall to us in the draft. Easy top 10 pick in a draft-do-over. We went from Adrian Peterson to dalvin cook. That is insane
The best RB in his draft class!!! You will be missed Dalvin!!
thanks for putting this together (and all your other content of course), it was a hell of a run with Dalvin here in Minnesota. He will be missed! Wish him all the best the rest of his career! Team first player, never selfish, great leader, amazing player. One of the all time greatest RB's in Vikings history.
Thanks for the vid Skol Rant
Welcome to Miami!! 😎
You forgot some big runs like 60 yarder vs ravens I believe and a few others but still great video I’ll miss cook
damn man
No other back besides maybe christian mccaffrey Has multiple highlight reels in one game.
Man rookie cook vs now is a lot different. He doesn't do those jump cut anymore or have that burst.
He still has the burst.He’s a zone guy .
Welcome welcome welcome. Everyone say it with me EDC GM of The Year!!!😊
ill miss my boy cookie, but its mattison turned to shine n see what he can do.
Special running back.
Welcome to Baltimore.
16.5 sacks?
What happen' was... I copy/pasted a slide from an earlier video. This is pretty on brand for me 😆 Thanks for watching that far, tho!
What? No come on! He is not going anywhere and he not going to the Dolphins and Bills no way that not going happen at all. He had a great career in Minnesota and I will miss him and did a lot for us. We still have the best Running Backs of Ty Chandler, Kene Nwangwu, Alexander Mattion and Rookie DeWayne McBride. That was supposed to happen! Sad day in Minnesota. So disappointed
I can’t wait to see what Alexander Mattion, Ty Chandler, Kene Nwangwu and Rookie DeWayne McBride got to show us this season and we will see a lot of touchdowns and awesome plays from these running backs. He played last year against the Dolphins and Vikings won plus he score a touchdown of 53 yards touchdown and he is not going to the Dolphins. Dalvin Cook had good run games of 53, 64 and 81 yards against the Dolphins, Colts and Bills. Dalvin Cook really had a great season and I love all of his plays and it was nice to see him get touchdowns too.
Welcome to the jet's 💍
He can still change his mind, right?
He will be missed. And the only time he put the ball on the ground was because he got hurt.... who ever gets him will be a better team
He’s good. Who does he remind you of?
Imagine being a running back who gets hit less tha0n the QB!
Come to the ravens!!!
I don’t care what the haters say Dalvin Cook was the best RB in Viking history(alongside Adrian Peterson, of course) is not gonna be the same without the 👨🏾🍳

Could’ve had better success with Adrian Peterson starting that yr they drafted him
That because dalvin tore his acl in like week 6 and missed almost all of his rookie yr
