Like I said earlier ITT, Rojo is just better than Freeman at this point in their careers. And I honestly think, if given the chance, he is going to be better than just an 'average' back.

I don't think he will give up this year and lose his chance at an unrestricted free agency, ,but who knows. I believe Mixon might be in the same boat as well.This will be interesting. Anyone believe that he will actually sit out?
ESPN's Courtney Cronin reports holdout Dalvin Cook would "gladly" take an offer in the $13 million-per-year range.
The initial figure reportedly proposed by Cook's camp was close to $16 million annually (similar to Christian McCaffrey's recent extension), but that side has recently dropped their number to just under $15 million. It's still far removed from the Vikings' initial offer of $10 million per year. As Cronin points out, Minnesota signed Stefon Diggs, Xavier Rhodes, Everson Griffen and Linval Joseph to extensions on the eve of camp in recent years, so all hope is not lost. But Cook remains prepared to sit out the season and avoid playing during the final year of his rookie deal — a transgression that would cause the 24-year-old to become a restricted free agent (rather than unrestricted) after the 2020 season. Buckle up.

About par for the course. Tell em one of the rook RBs from this class, and the next 2 #1's. Would work for someSharks circling already. Got my first inquiry for Cook in a league I own him. No offer, just what you want for him.
Dalvin Cook will not participate in any team activities until he receives a new contract, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
“He’s out,” a source told Schefter. “Without a reasonable extension, he will not be showing up for camp or beyond.” Cook is entering the final season of his four-year rookie deal and is scheduled to make just over $2 million in 2020. While the Vikings traded away Stefon Diggs this offseason, they did hand Kirk Cousins a contract extension with $61 million guaranteed at signing. That likely impacted Cook's stance, as the runner recorded over 1,600 total yards last season to go along with 13 touchdowns. Backs nearing second contracts are starting to understand they need to lock up their money as quickly as possible. From the Vikings' side, they know Cook has only played 29 games in three seasons due to various injuries. Per Schefter, the two sides have not spoken since last week and have no further discussions scheduled right now. Alexander Mattison would instantly be viewed as a top 15 running back option in any game that Dalvin Cook misses.
Lots of big names on that list...wow.

And I can only say Henry, Mixon, and Cook as ones that really should be re signed or the teams made a mistake. Next offseasin could be a nightmare for keeper/dynasty owners

Haha, right?? I dunno what to think of the Saints after this season..probably should sign him. But life after Brees? Maybe they're gonna start a whole new thing?tough critic if Kamara doesn't make the cut!

A dynasty league I used to be in had a rule that if a player left his NFL team (Free Agency, Trade, etc..) you lost him and he went back into the draft...
Added a strategic element for sure.
