Rumors about Dalvin Cook’s son exist. It seems that there are rumors circulating around the league that he could be suspended. ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio brought it up, saying, “There has been chatter in league circles regarding hesitation arising from a possibility of a suspension.”
The earliest mention of a settlement offer in Cook’s 2021 Domestic Violence case was reported. This may affect his prospects of signing a deal before the next season and has sparked some questions regarding his off-field situation.
According to Mike Florio of @ProFootballTalk, there has been “chatter in league circles about a possible suspension” for running back Dalvin Cook.
appears to be related to Cook’s 2021 domestic abuse lawsuit, which he countersued for slander.
Throughout the legal proceedings, Cook has been a member of the Vikings and has even filed counterclaims for slander. However, with this recent development, things are becoming less clear for him.
After an alleged physical assault incident, Cook allegedly promised his ex-girlfriend a substantial sum of $1 million to absolve himself of any culpability. This information was reported by Rochelle Olson of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Any prospective suspension might not occur until the 2024 NFL season because the trial in the domestic abuse case is scheduled for the following year.
Now, when it comes to his potential new team, thPatriots are one of the top contenders, along with the Dolphins and the Jets from the AFC East. The Dolphins have been in the mix from the beginning, considering Cook’s Miami roots. As for the Jets, they’re trying to bolster their roster for a playoff run, possibly led by Aaron Rodgers.
But why isn’t there a bigger market for Cook, and why aren’t there more teams bidding? Well, this “devaluation of the running back” trend might be a factor. Other star running backs like Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs are holding out for their $10 million tags, protesting the perceived decline in the value of running backs.
But there’s more to it. The lawsuit involving Cook’s ex-girlfriend is making things complicated. She’s claiming that he assaulted her and caused severe injuries, and there’s even talk of him offering her hush money. Cook, on the other hand, is counter-suing. These legal issues are definitely influencing teams’ decisions in pursuing him.
