Despite what seems to be a need at the running back position, the Denver Broncos appear disinterested in making a run at freshly released Pro Bowler Dalvin Cook. 

According to Mike Klis of Denver 9News, “the Broncos do not appear to be in on newly set free running back Dalvin Cook.” 

Following Cook’s release from the Minnesota Vikings this past Friday, Denver instantly jumped to the top of the list of viable landing spots for the reigning 1,000-yard rusher. 

Given the second-best odds to sign Cook via DraftKings Sportsbook, the Broncos currently boast a talented — albeit unproven — running back group, headlined by Javonte Williams, who is working his way back from a torn ACL and LCL. 

The team signed veteran Samaje Perine this offseason after he spent the last three-plus seasons in Cincinnati. Across two starts with the Bengals last season, Perine amassed 248 yards from scrimmage and scored one touchdown.
