Apparently Dalvin Cook isn't too happy with the workload he has with Jets. I'd toss a third rounder for him. He might be a Aaron Jones Jr type at this point in his career. It would allow the offense to keep a consistency between Jones and Cook. Whereas with Dillon I think the blocking scheme has to change and so does the offense.

What do you billions of fans think?

What did he expect? He knew he was going to be working with Hall. Dude is a stud in the making. That team is loaded. They are just missing a QB.

According to PFF the Vikings have the best run blocking team in the NFL. Lions are 4th and Falcons are 6th.

A bit to my surprise, Packers run defense is 19th best, I thought it would be much further down. Though there is a pretty big jump between 17th and 18th.

Right now it's poop on top of poop so they can't really evaluate him too well.

Cook stated his frustration is with a reduced role, not lack of winning. That's why I posed the question.

  • Yes, we do value our draft choices....I would hope so anyway
  • We have too much money tied up in running backs now
  • A decent running game is predicated on a decent line. Average backs can run well behind good lines. I don't want a great back disguising our deficiencies, I want to lay them bare.

    I think he selected teams based on pay, thought he could put up a good amount of yardage and have a chance at a championship. What the thought was the best combination of the three, probably leaning heavily on his pay.

    Ironically, he might of been much better signing with his home town team that he wanted to, in the Miami Dolphins

      dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
      Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
      Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
      Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
      Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
      Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
      Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
      dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

      Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
      Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
      Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
      Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
      dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
      Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
      Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
