Dalvin Cook, Jets part ways. Which NFL team could most use him for its playoff run?
View Date:2024-12-23 11:46:11
Dalvin Cook and the New York Jets have agreed to part ways with one game left this season, so Cook can join a playoff team.
Cook will head to waivers Tuesday, his agency confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.
If Cook clears waivers, he’s free to sign with any team for the rest of the NFL season.
Cook has played sparingly in 2023 for the Jets as the franchise’s direction drastically changed following Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles injury four plays into the season.
While Cook joined the Jets for a potential Super Bowl run, the Jets have allowed him to explore his options of joining another team with a better chance to win a championship.
NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more.
Cook has 67 carries for 214 yards and 15 catches for 78 yards with no touchdowns in limited action behind Breece Hall in the Jets’ struggling offense this season.
Cook joined the Jets after six standout seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, where he rushed for more than 1,000 yards from 2019-22.
Which teams are best suitors for Dalvin Cook?
Could Cook join his younger brother, James Cook, with the Buffalo Bills? It seems like a good fit, but Buffalo has a crowded backfield with veterans Latavius Murray and Leonard Fournette already in tow.
Could Cook join Miami? The Dolphins could use the depth behind Raheem Mostert, who has knee and ankle injuries, and rookie De’Von Achane. The Dolphins were thought of as preliminary option for Cook before he joined the Jets.
Cook could be a nice complementary piece for the Baltimore Ravens, who have fellow South Florida standouts such as quarterback Lamar Jackson and receiver Zay Flowers, who is represented by the same agency as Cook.
Cook could also provide depth to the Dallas Cowboys (behind Tony Pollard), Kansas City Chiefs (behind Isiah Pacheco), Jacksonville Jaguars (behind Travis Etienne Jr.) or Philadelphia Eagles (behind quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back D'Andre Swift).
If Cook joined the San Francisco 49ers (Christian McCaffrey), Detroit Lions (Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery) or Los Angeles Rams (Kyren Williams), he could be resigned to a limited role he’s played this season with the Jets.
