The former Minnesota Vikings running back reportedly offered $1 million to his ex-girlfriend to clear him of any wrongdoing stemming from her 2021 claim that he assaulted her.
Gracelyn Trimble, a sergeant in the U.S. Army, accused Cook of assault, battery and false imprisonment during a Nov. 19, 2020, incident at his Grove Heights home, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported, citing a lawsuit filed in the Dakota County District Court.
