With the departure of Dalvin Cook as the primary running back, the Minnesota Vikings are now welcoming Alexander Mattison as the new RB1. This change in personnel comes with implications for the team's salary cap, as they look towards the future of the franchise.

As fans and analysts alike look back on Cook's tenure with the Vikings, many are left wondering where he ranks on the all-time list of the team's running backs. While his departure is certainly a loss for the team, it also presents an opportunity for a new player to step up to the plate and take on the role of RB1.

One candidate for this position is Alexander Mattison. Many are questioning whether he has what it takes to fill Cook's shoes, but I believe that he has the potential to be a great fit for the Vikings offense in the coming years. In my opinion, Mattison's skill set makes him well-suited to the team's style of play, and I think that he will only continue to improve as he gains more experience.

Of course, with any major personnel change comes questions about the decision-making process behind it. Some fans may be wondering whether Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, the team's general manager, is making the right moves by letting go of so many veterans. However, it's important to keep in mind that there are many factors that go into these kinds of decisions, and we can never know all of the details behind them. Only time will tell whether Adofo-Mensah's choices will pay off for the Vikings in the long run.
