GREEN BAY — If Aaron Jones was contemplating a holdout this summer in hopes of leveraging a long-term contract from the Green Bay Packers — and there have been zero indications that the mild-mannered, yessir-saying star running back has any interest in such a ploy — he surely has noticed that another running back in his own division is embarking on what appears to be a pointless endeavor.
Minnesota Vikings halfback Dalvin Cook made headlines earlier this month when news broke that he was bailing on the team’s virtual offseason program and refusing to partake in any of the team’s activities going forward, including training camp — assuming it starts as scheduled in late July — until he gets a new contract.
