The soon-to-be 28-year-old, four-time Pro Bowler was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
The Vikings released him in June.
There was speculation this could be happening given Cook’s Instagram reaction to Wednesday’s news that Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers renegotiated his contract to take a pay cut.

Cook’s recently expired contract was a five-year $63 million deal with an average yearly salary of $12.6 million.
Rodgers’s new contract frees up $35 million for the Jets to keep and acquire talent around him over the next two years.
