Vikings Propose Blockbuster Trade Sending Star Running Back Dalvin Cook to AFC Powerhouse
A potential mega-deal is on the horizon that could bolster the Buffalo Bills' offense, providing their star quarterback, Josh Allen, with another invaluable asset.
Since Allen's inaugural season in 2018, the Bills have struggled to establish a dominant presence in the running back position. The last time they boasted a 1,000-yard rusher was back in 2017, when Pro Bowl regular LeSean McCoy dashed for 1,138 yards. With their top rusher of 2022, Devin Singletary, now playing for the Houston Texans, the current roster's running back slot is spearheaded by second-year pro James Cook and recent addition Damien Harris.
However, Kenneth Teape at NFL Analysis Network has thrown a potential game-changer into the mix: a prospective trade that would see the Bills acquiring Dalvin Cook, a four-time Pro Bowl running back and the elder brother of James Cook. Teape suggests:
Dalvin Cook, who has consistently ranked among the elite running backs in the league over the past four seasons, is midway through a five-year, $63 million contract he signed with the Vikings in the 2020 offseason. Adding Cook to the Bills would bolster an already formidable offensive lineup, with MVP contender Josh Allen at quarterback, Pro Bowl receiver Stefon Diggs, speedy wideout Gabe Davis, and the formidable tight end tandem of Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid.
While Allen is renowned for his dual-threat capabilities, acquiring a top-tier running back like Cook would help alleviate some pressure from the franchise's star. If the price is right, a Cook trade could be an astute strategic move for Buffalo GM Brandon Beane and his team.
