Dalvin Cook Rumors: RB Felt 'Disrespected' by Vikings' Contract Offer

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook reportedly decided to start a holdout after feeling "disrespected" by the team's latest contract extension offer.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday that Cook won't take part in any further team activities, including training camp, unless he received a "reasonable" proposal.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler provided further details about the situation Saturday on SportsCenter:

"I'm told he's planning to hold out simply because he felt disrespected by the offer the Vikings put on the table. This is a player that believes he's one of the best at his position, but he wasn't asking really for Chirstian McCaffrey money, which is $16 million per year.
