5 NFL landing spots for ex-Jets RB Dalvin Cook, including the Cowboys
Could your postseason-bound NFL team use Dalvin Cook for the playoffs?
Veteran running back Dalvin Cook is being released by the New York Jets this week for a chance to play with a contender, per multiple reports.
The once-electric running back signed with the Jets as a complimentary piece of an offense led by Aaron Rodgers, but the latter’s season-ending injury changed New York’s season almost immediately.
Cook fell behind in New York’s rotation, only logging 67 carries for 214 yards and 15 catches for 78 yards. He’s averaging only 3.2 yards a carry.
No matter, there will likely be some NFL contender who feels Cook is worth having around for a possible Super Bowl push this month.
