Vikings leadership offers little on futures of Dalvin Cook, Za’Darius Smith

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:34:32 GMT

Vikings fans looking for clarity on whether Dalvin Cook and Za’Darius Smith might still find a fit on the 2023 roster didn’t get any from general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and coach Kevin O’Connell on Thursday.No real surprise there.

And despite the fact both players are signed for next season and owed guaranteed money, the team appears to be in some sort of negotiation mode with each.“We’re in ongoing communication with him and his representatives,” Adofo-Mensah said of Smith, on the books next season for $9.45 million w...

Runoff matchups set in four Denver City Council races

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:34:32 GMT

Four runoff matchups have been finalized in Denver City Council races after the release of final unofficial results Thursday by the Denver Elections Division.Two of those races had tight results between the candidates in second and third place — in one case just over 100 votes — leaving some uncertainty about who would make the runoff while ballot-counting from the April 4 election was still underway.

Nick Campion. Alvidrez, a small business owner, received nearly 39% of votes and Campion, a software CEO, received 19.2% in an open five-candidate race to represen...
