I think Cook might be- I think if you're Tony, but I think you're kind of hoping that Zeke comes back. Although, I still think they do need something else in that backfield behind Tony Pollard. Cowboys would be pretty problematic for- it would be super problematic for Tony Pollard. Definitely agree that Jets would be an outright disaster. Because everybody knows, like yeah, what you said, Andy, that this is probably the last year that you're going to get anything really, really great out of him.Īnd the landing spots are interesting.

And I don't even know that you'd get, like, necessarily- I don't even know you get like a first round pick next year for Dalvin. Like, if you think you're a contending team this year with Dalvin Cook, you should just- you're not going to find something better than Dalvin Cook. So I think it's a good day to shop Mattison. He's a good player without being, like, an elite rusher or anything like that, and guys like that are always dangerous.

There's still a bunch of other- there's still some musical chairs that are going on at the running back spot, right? Like, something could still mess this up for Alexander Mattison. I don't know that he ends up in Denver, but I think you should file away the fact that there was real talk about Denver as a destination because that just adds to the concerns about Javonte Williams that have been there for months, right? People have Mattison right now, it's a great time to shop him, right? There's going to be a little bit of excitement about him. Like, we can feel good about Dalvin Cook going into this year. He's not like in precipitous decline or anything like that. All the yards after contact, per attempt numbers looked good, the missed tackle numbers looked good. When the line was banged up, he wasn't great, had some inefficient games. He's probably not going to return to the level that he was at in 2020, is still a good running back.Įverything looked good last year. We're not talking about, like, an ascending player. I think the essential thing to realize with Dalvin is that he's like he's as good right now as he's ever going to be again, right? 28 years old. Not a lot, right? But it's just a ripe spot, and Coach McDaniel obviously knows what to do with talent. He's got, obviously, a history in the region, for whatever that's worth. I think Miami is the most obvious, right? He's a clear upgrade.
