Source confirms that free-agent TE Jared Cook will visit the #Vikings soon if he doesn't sign with Seattle.

Was in Seattle today?  That makes it sound like he left Seattle and is heading for MN.  Murray, Jones, Cook would go a long way to restocking the shelves before the draft.  Add a nickle corner such as Nickell Robey-Coleman and maybe bring in a WR like Michael Floyd and a few low tier position fillers such as Austin Pasztor and we could go BPA for the draft.

He left Seattle.

Frankly, if Cook couldn't thrive in GB's offense (especially when they were running out of WRs), I can't see him being anything other than a blocking TE (and we already have a great one of those).

I think Cook did fine in the GB offense, he was a big reason for the surge the last 6 weeks of the season, and the win in the playoffs. I would love to have two capable tight ends and one that can stretch the field (cook).

Cook did very well, the second half of the season when healthy.  Was a key player for the Pack's resurgence at the end of regulsr season.  

Lucky for us (Packer haters) he was not ready for the start of the season, for the first time in his career. 
He hasn't been nearly as injury prone, as Rudolph. 

Very dynamic receiver, adequate blocker.  Ran a Sub- 4.5 at the combine, at 6'5"' 240.  

Near-freakish athlete, and a Southern boy, who plays nasty.  I hope we get him... huge downfield upgrade to Ellison,
& will be nice to see one Viking TE get separation & moves when he gets the ball.  Bradford will love him.

It looks like we may let Line walk so we're also going to need one more blocking type TE / FB (in addition to Morgan) or move one of the backup linemen (Sirles, Clemmings) in on short yardage situations. There's no doubt that Cook is a stretch the field type TE. That would give us yet another offensive option to keep from being predictable.

If #Raiders land Jared Cook, and he’s visiting tonight/tomorrow, QB Derek Carr gets an assist for his recruiting efforts. He is working it.

I guess not so fast....


Free-agent tight end Jared Cook is still meeting with the #Vikings.

Minnesota Vikings @vikings

TE Jared Cook's visit with the #Vikings has concluded.

Damn ex-Packers takin' alot of time at Winter Park...do they like Manny's? Murray deal might have been done if Cook and his pal, Fat Albert Lacy, didn't treat Manny's like a Golden Coral.

Really wish they could have landed him. I guess they can draft the next Greg Delong.
