Former Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is still on the free agent market and the Jets may have a legitimate chance of adding him before training camp.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk recently shared some thought on the situation and said the Jets are “gaining momentum” towards potentially signing Cook, adding that “the Jets are a team that I was aware of as a potential destination for Cook weeks before he was actually cut and another additional benefit he said is potentially blocking the Dolphins from landing him.”

The Jets have been keeping an eye on Cook. He would add a strong back behind Aaron Rodgers on offense and would allow the Jets to be more cautious with Breece Hall and his ACL recovery.
The Dolphins, Patriots and perhaps even the Bills are all potentially in the mix as well for Cook. With training camps only about two weeks away, we should get some traction soon on this front. The Jets’ first practice of camp is July 20.
