\n Another star running back is threatening a contract holdout ahead of the 2020 NFL season.<\/p>\n

With just one year remaining on Dalvin Cook\u2019s rookie deal with the Vikings, the former second-round pick is planning to sit out of all team-related activities until he receives a \u201creasonable\u201d contract, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s out,\u201d a source told ESPN on Monday. \u201cWithout a reasonable extension, he will not be showing up for camp or beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talks between the Vikings and Cook\u2019s representation were characterized as \u201cproductive\u201d by ESPN, but were not yet \u201cclose\u201d at the time.<\/p>\n

Bengals running back Joe Mixon, also drafted in 2017, is similarly rumored to have threatened a holdout if he does not receive an extension before the season starts.<\/p>\n

Both Mixon and Cook are likely seeking blockbuster contracts in the neighborhood of $15-16 million per annum, which would put them on par with the Panthers\u2019 Christian McCaffrey, who was the first running back from the 2017 draft class to receive a contract extension back in April. McCaffrey\u2019s four-year, $64 million deal made him the highest-paid running back in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Cook, 24, joins a group of running backs in recent memory who have threatened to sit out as a contract negotiation tactic. The Jets\u2019 Le\u2019Veon Bell missed the entire 2018 season following a messy fallout with the Steelers and the Broncos\u2019 Melvin Gordon missed the first four game<\/a>s last year amid his stalemate with the Chargers, but eventually returned without an extension.<\/p>\n

Ezekiel Elliott threatened to hold out ahead of the 2019 season, but eventually agreed to terms on a six-year, $90 million deal at the 11th hour, making him the highest-paid running back at the time.<\/p>\n

Cook was selected by the Vikings 41st-overall in the 2017 NFL Draft from Florida State. His first two seasons in the NFL were marred by injury after suffering a torn ACL four games into his rookie year and a lingering hamstring injury in 2018.<\/p>\n

Cook had a breakout season in 2019, and earned first-time Pro Bowl honors. The Vikings leaned heavily on the dual threat, who tallied 1,135 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns (fourth-most in the NFL), as well as 53 catches for 519 receiving yards over 14 games.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
