Dalvin Cook Signs With New York Jets

Cook to the Jets seemed inevitable after the running back told Good Morning Football that the odds of him signing with New York were high.

“I think we’re in the position of a team that’s building something special, and I want to be part of something special as a player,” Cook said about the Jets on July 28. “And I want to add to whatever they got going on. I think the possibility is high, right now, of getting things done.”

Rodgers reworked his deal in July, taking a pay cut of nearly $35 million, giving the Jets the flexibility to sign players like Cook.

With the addition of Cook, the expectations continue to rise for the Jets, who will look to end their 12-year playoff drought.

Cook is a formidable addition to a backfield that includes Breece Hall and Michael Carter.

Despite separating his shoulder in Week 3 of the 2022 season, Cook played through the injury and finished with 1,173 yards and eight touchdowns.

The Jets welcome the Bills to MetLife Stadium in Week 1, set for Monday Night Football on September 11.
