Minnesota is going to piss off some agents if they wait till June first to cut their client when there’s a whole process designed to prevent teams from doing that. If you don’t plan to keep a player and you can’t trade him due to his contract…the June 1st designation is in place to not destroy a players free agency value. Minnesota holding his rights only to cut him after June first (after teams don’t have cap space and positional need that creates a market for a player like Cook) would be a terrible look and something agents don’t forget.
