If I'm KC or Buffalo, I'd see if I can move some money around

Unless he’s taking the league minimum, why? Both have bigger problems outside of RB

His production was down only slightly last year, but why? Maybe injury concerns/don't want to pay a RB that money? Problem is if you have Cook the last few years in Fantasy FB you see that when he is not in the lineup the next RB up has not really produced as well as he has. Oh well.

Not sure the Fins need him that badly for the money he’ll command. Now, if an equivalent offensive lineman was available, I’d hope we pulled the trigger.

i don't get this at all. have they mismanaged their cap this much to where they can't work something out?

I know you don't want to break the bank these days on a RB but to just outright release a productive one?

Jimbo needs to write Dalvin a check.

They were under the cap so they didn’t have to cut him but wanted him to take a pay cut anyway

Saved them 9 mil on the cap, which is more simply probably just good business at a position that doesn’t really affect playoff games in a meaningful way.

They could also be a sneaky tank candidate

He probably signs for like 3 mil with some escalators. There’s not really money out there anymore that teams want to spend on vets and he’s getting a check from the Vikings so other teams will leverage that and may even get him to sign for league min if he’s really itching for a contender

Maybe they'll have enough money to sign a defender that can tackle someone.

Until they get rid of Cousins the Vikings will never sniff a Super Bowl

Cousins wasn’t responsible for their shite defense last year did you watch that playoff game

They had a negative point differential as a 12-13 win team

Was scheduled to make 17 million this year I believe. Teams would rather wait and try and sign him for vet minimum
