It appears that running back Dalvin Cook’s time with the Vikings is nearing a conclusion, according to a report from ESPN’s Kevin Seifert.
Cook, who is scheduled to make $14.1 million thanks to a contract extension signed under former GM Rick Spielman in 2020, is not expected to be with Minnesota for the upcoming season. The soon-to-be 28-year-old’s pricey salary is a significant factor in the team’s thinking, per Seifert.
The team has been preparing for a post-Cook era at running back for months. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah re-signed the team’s No.

When your sporting event is missing a 14-time champ, it is no small thing. Much the same way Bruce Springsteen’s absence would loom large at an E Street Band concert, Rafael Nadal’s absence has hovered over Roland Garros. Nevertheless, with Nadal at home (you can’t spell Majorca with “Major”) the 2023 French Open carries on. And the vacuum has been filled. By Carlos Alcaraz, another relentless Spaniard. By emerging young stars. By players from six continents. By a Ukrainian mom playing for much more than herself.

I mean would you expect anything different from a team that is still paying out Bobby Bonilla? (Only 12 more years to go Mets fans!)
Yes the overweight and fun-loving Colon, who became a fan-favorite simply because he’s Bartolo Colon, will be hanging up his stirrups for good in a pregame ceremony on August 26th at CitiField, according to MLB Insider Hector Gomez.
Rumors have been swirling around wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins since his release from the Cardinals last month, with the five-time Pro Bowl receiver being linked to several teams across the league.
As Hopkins’s free agent market continues to develop, the only thing definitive at this point is that he wants to pick a new team by the start of training camp later this summer, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Shannon Sharpe has reportedly reached a buyout agreement with FS1 that will end his tenure as Skip Bayless’s co-host on the popular debate show Undisputed.
Sharpe, whose Hall of Fame NFL career has now dovetailed into a successful post-football television career, will become a media free agent.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith responded to the news that Sharpe would be on the market, and made it clear that he was open to having him on First Take.

Amid a report that said she was leaving Spotify, Jemele Hill announced on Twitter that her podcast isn’t going anywhere, as of now.
Bloomberg first reported on Friday that Hill’s “Unbothered” network of podcasts, including her own show Jemele Hill is Unbothered, was looking for a new home, as the company “has reconsidered its expensive podcasting strategy.” This report came four years after Spotify gave $200 million for Joe Rogan’s podcast, after which Hill said she would like to see Spotify give them that much money to black podcasters.

Tom Brady says he will always support what his children want to do, but he would prefer them not to play football.
45-year-old Brady appeared on ESPN Friday where he talked about retirement life and what it’s been like spending more time with his family. When he was asked about his 15-year-old son, Jack, who currently plays high school football, he said that he would hope that he doesn’t follow in his own footsteps.
Immediately, one would think that it had to do with the growing CTE and health-related concerns that have plagued the game for decades.
