 Now elsewhere in the NFL we have a couple news items and if you have a normal hunt story I know miss Norma. She showed up at those games and so she had all the energy in the world So chiefs fans, I'd love to hear from you at up and Adam's show But let's move on to a little Dalvin cook here because I think you should stay in Minnesota Okay, ESPN's reporting that Dalvin and his exit from the Vikings is likely if not completely certain and basically It's all a formalizing situation now the exit You know could come in the form of a trade, but here's where I'm sitting It'll be hard for Minnesota to get a ton because delvin's three years left on a chunky hearty contract So a release seems more likely because of the cap hit cook Let's not forget is coming off of the one of the best years of his career Okay, a fourth straight Pro Bowl. He's going into his 28-year season Not quite at that dreaded 30 year old mark for running back So he's still under that mark and you know, yeah, I'll get into some landing spots in a minute Miami fine, sure, but the Viking side of things is interesting. I don't see enough people talking about it right now They might be in the most complicated but fascinating position of any NFL franchise right now We don't care. We forget. We completely disregard that they're coming off of 13 in four season Probably because they were bouncing the first round to the playoffs. I get it But they're a completely wide open division lest you forget and even as the reigning champs They're not favored to win it. The Lions are the consistent favorite every time I've looked over at Vandal sports What can you show it? You want to check out this stuff and how the Lions are falling here? The Vikings have been playing musical chairs with the other three Okay, two weeks ago, Minnesota had the longest odds and now they're back up in second Which we like to see and there's good reason for it because they have so much talent on the roster But I don't think I'm alone in sort of struggling to figure out what to do with this Vikings team They're a conundrum. They are a total wriggle right now And there's a lot of questions and it all starts with a quarterback her cousins. He's entering the contract here Okay, they traded away their best defensive player From last season in Zadaria Smith and now it sounds like Dalvin is all but formally gone. So to me it seems like They're playing this halfway. I don't love it Like they're trying to rebuild on the fly while staying in contention 13 and 4 this is a risky proposition here and I get it Justin Jefferson. He's gonna want the bank, right? He's gonna command a monster deal and they have some cap issues But this division is right for the taking right now. It could be yours It's the NFC looking how it does right now. So I know the Eagles are strong and made some things and are doing some things but outside of the Eagles Every other team in the conference has the same sort of question mark at least one or two Just hanging over their heads outside of Philadelphia. So Personally Like I'd love to see Minnesota hang on to Dalvin and go all in one last ride with Kirk cousins, you know Kirk oh chains, let's do it And if it doesn't work then you blow it up because I feel like the only teams these kind of half measure rebuilds work for Are the teams who already have young future franchise quarterbacks in place So there's a nice little opportunity here with this conference being what it is And I think it's fair for Vikings fans to question whether or not questy and this front office are sort of positioning themselves to take Full advantage of that this season and I know time is gonna tell and we can't really judge Anything that they're doing right now. It's a long-term deal But I don't know this season the fan base is gonna look back wondering Why didn't you push harder? I think that's the state of the NFC and the NFC North and if they just move on from guys Like a Dalvin a difference maker coming off one of the best years of his career It's a little tough to swallow with things being as wide open as they are and if they do move on from him We got to talk landing destinations, right because there's interesting teams popping up But there's you know, we'd love to see Miami everyone everyone their mom on Twitter today is like to Miami to Miami and Right, it's a cute storyline, of course former mr. Florida football coming backward. I'll start it I get it, but he can make a huge impact with this dolphin squad their run game was shot It was 25th last year and it's been an issue for a while over the last six years the Dolphins six years guys The Dolphins have had the second least productive run game in the league Okay, they scored the fewest touchdowns on the ground over that spin as well. It's been a problem So while I know the Dolphins have built this like let's go Tyreek Hill high octane passing attack with Daniel so fun and zany and cool and wattles waddling in the thing Let's not forget that the heart of this Kyle Shanahan Influenced Mike McDaniel scheme is the run game It's their bread and butter and their passing game and the RPOs are all built off of that So putting Delvin in this offense might give two of the most dangerous collection of weapons in the entire leak and McDaniel made it very clear The Dolphins are gonna make the most of their cap space He spoke to the media last Wednesday before putting up, you know The crafty move to work and completely changing the subject before I got any follow-up stick a listen our guy Mike I'd feel confident to say that We'll make good use out of that salary cap room When it comes to start of the regular season I Can't believe you guys missed the op this is this is the South Florida 2023 did not just begin with these Playoff Really progressions of both the heat and the floor of Panthers. No one wants to talk to me about Nova Okay, yes He really did start talking about division to Nova southeastern basketball team and avoided any further questions and move I fully respect We see you we love you but Let's work with what he did give us for a second right once June 1st hit the Dolphins cap space jumped up 13.9 million and he didn't hold back and saying they're going to make use of that space Which by the way would be enough to absorb delvin cooks contract If they wanted to make a trade or more than enough to sign him if he hits the market and they part ways with him So it looks like Miami. It sounds like it Nova aside They're ready to be aggressive and I have to wonder for move for Dalvin switches these odds up a little bit they have the third longest odds to win the AFC East on Fandall sportsbook and Without delvin the Dolphins are getting slept on here first of all beyond and I you know I think if all breaks right and they stay healthy They're gonna contend for a Super Bowl this year in a loaded crowded crazy AFC I think they've got the talent to do it. So getting Dalvin. Holy smokes like they can have like a top 10 run game Tough tough, I don't know if it changes those odds. I'd love to know what you guys think though We have a we have a great running back on the show speaking of AFC East running backs and James white is on the show He's a three-time. Oh my gosh, sweetie. You have three Super Bowl rings So you guys get in that closet and pull not for me to see those sparklers. We've got former England Patriots great James white on the show
