Yeah, I would still make a call to Dalvin. He is a better overall RB than Mixon.

He seems like hes rehabing so couldnt sign him now anyway (as he probably cant pass a psychical yet)
"Cook underwent shoulder surgery Feb. 14 in hopes of avoiding the chronic separations he has suffered. At the time, the Vikings said he would be fully recovered in time for the regular season. He had not been participating in the voluntary portion of the Vikings' offseason program, and the timing of his departure means there will be no clash over whether he reports for mandatory minicamp later this month."
Why is that? If we cut Mixon, we cut his salary?
But yeah, the injury to Dalvin Cook makes me more hesitant about bringing him in, but if he would be ready by the regular
season I would take him over Mixon. A Cook/Chase Brown/Trayveon RB room would be much better just because of the pass
protection and vision would be better.

It is. All our RB's need to be able to pass protect in this Offense. This is fact. Makes us much more unpredictable and keeps
our Franchise QB upright.
