Saturday’s strange tennis match of conflicting comments regarding Vikings running back Dalvin Cook finally has been resolved. We think.
Cook told running backs Kennedy Polamalu that Cook plans to report for training camp, and Polamalu then shared that with head coach Mike Zimmer, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Zimmer said Saturday that Cook directly told Zimmer that Cook will report for camp. Cook’s agent then went on the record to dispute that Cook had told Zimmer anything about showing up for camp.
Ultimately, it’s a distinction without a difference. Cook reportedly has told the Vikings that he’ll be present for training camp. That’s all that matters.
He’d be crazy to report. This team is paying Kirk $33 million a year to essentially just not mess it up. The team runs through the run game and the defense. There’s no way the Vikings can justify having no money for Cook while overspending wildly at QB. Get your fair share, Dalvin.
