ESPN's Jeremy Fowler revealed as much on SportsCenter:

"Dalvin Cook's future has been sort of open-ended recently. I was told from a source that the Vikings want to do right by Dalvin Cook. Right now, they're willing to hold on to his cap hit of around $14 million until they figure this all out.

"They want him to go to a place where he can play and be happy, whether that's via trade, or eventual release, or even staying in Minnesota.
