OK fair enough.

Yes I cast my vote
 
If the Dolphins can get him for a $5MM - $7MM bargain (or less), that’s great! The soft RB market and relatively small number of teams needing RB1 help works in Miami’s favor.

Almost 1/3rd of all starting RBs in the league will have a $10MM+ AAV in 2023. The recent Aaron Jones (26 y/o) contract extension of 2Y/$23MM is probably the best comp.

IMO, getting a now healthy 27 y/o 4x pro bowler coming off a 1500 total yards (#10) season—when he played injured—for a steep discount will be a challenge for Grier & Co.

Great post, and that’s without even mentioning the fact that Cook is one of the best receiving backs in the NFL.

I really don’t understand the people who act like he’s comparable to Mostert and Wilson. Mostert is 31 and last year is the first time he’s started more than 8 games in a season. He’s an old, career back-up on a near-minimum deal. And Wilson is worse than that.

Cook is among the best RBs in the NFL.

Agreed.

I mean they were statistically as good as D. HENRY, Josh Jacob's and Nick Chubb Last year

But I find it hard to believe anyone would take Mostert and Wilson over any of those guys.

I mean some people just don't want to pay RBS money, I get it.
I am one of those guys.
But when they could potentially be that player that puts us over the top, I am willing to pay the price.

If people are only willing to pay 5 million, that's OK. But I would hope they are only willing to pay 5 million a year for any RB not named Henry, because Cook has been as good if not better then every RB outside of Henry.

I don't look at the total yardage as a driving factor. That is a product of a high number of opportunities/touches.

If RBBC is the philosophy, any individual's total yardage is not going to be in that neighborhood, and is irrelevant. If that's what you are paying big $ for, you are paying for something you will likely not use.

You would basically have to give Cook 80+% of the snaps/touches to justify top tier $, and I do not believe that is McD's preferred philosophy.

In this case, it can be relevant.

Why? Because the philosophy can change with the right player. Look at SF, a fundamental “RBBC” team that successfully shifted gears once McCaffery was added. If true Miami was exploring a trade a few months ago to pick up Cook, McD wasn’t likely bringing him in for RBBC. And the fact Miami now has Achane doesn’t keep them from doubling down—case in point: Waddle/Hill, the receiving room.

And yes, you should pay $ for top production, but also threat of production. There is value in the Cook’s intangibles—i.e. defensive scheme adjustments.
