Vikings cornerback Cook arrested, could be out for a while

By now you've probably heard that Vikings cornerback Chris Cook has been arrested.

This is not good news for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. But I'm more concerned about what this means for Cook's Vikings career (held without bail and strangulation charges seems pretty bad.) Cook was looking like he was turning into a pretty good corner.

If this latest legal trouble forces the Vikings to cut ties with him, it creates another hole in the Vikings roster that the team must fill in 2012 – along with left tackle, right guard, middle linebacker, a number one wide receiver, left defensive tackle, right cornerback (Cedric Griffin looks done) and possibly strong safety (Jamarca Sanford doesn't seem like the answer).

Do you think Leslie Frazier is wondering right now why he took the Vikings head coaching job?
