Running back Dalvin Cook’s short tenure with the Jets is coming to an end.

 

Cook’s agents at LAA Sports announced on Tuesday, via Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, that their client and the Jets have mutually agreed to part ways. The hope is for Cook to catch on with a team going to the playoffs and he will be subject to waivers once his departure from the Jets becomes official.

Perhaps the least surprising story of the entire season was Dalvin Cook being ineffective for the Jets 

I remember the offseason when people were calling for the Jets to take the AFC by storm because of Aaron Rodgers and then Dalvin Cook. Like they were amassing a pro bowl team that nobody could match. And then boom, 4 minutes into the season Rodgers is down and Cook….. well, wasn’t every really that special.

I just think it’s bull#### teams cut vets at this point of the season and they can join a team for the playoffs.


If you became a free agent after week, let’s say 12 for arguments sake, you should just be guaranteed your salary until the end of the season and not be able to join another squad.

Probably the most non-sensical pickup of any of the Jets signings this season.   I understand that they weren't sure about  Breece Hall coming off his ACL, but they already had Ty Johnson and Michael Carter and surely they could have come up with an insurance policy cheaper than Dalvin Cook.  Complete idiocy by Joe Douglas.

What's crazy is that he had over 1,000 yards rushing, almost 300 yards receiving, and 10 TDs just last year.

Your mistake is believing that Joe Douglas is the GM of the NY Football Jets.

I wonder how much Rodgers really would’ve helped…he’s pretty limited mobility wise and that oline is rough.  We probably still would’ve split our games with them

You won't believe me but I haven't. I had no idea that wrong Cook will be released. I am just sitting on my toilet and it was the first though which I had when I read the title.

People dumping on Dalvin doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  Breece was healthy and always gonna be the primary ball carrier.  Dalvin was there to be another piece in a Rodgers based offense that could run and catch the ball out of the backfield.  But Rodgers went down and all that was left was a terrible OL, QB, and OC.  Dalvin doing little in a low use scenario on a truly awful offense doesn't mean he is shot and couldn't still have some value to a contending team.

 

Don't be surprised if KC or Balt sign him for the post season.  He would have value on both teams right now.

Yeah I didn’t think Rodgers would be all that great anyway. The dude is a fossil now. Was expected that he would miss some time because of his age anyway. I have no doubt they would have been better but for all the extra games they would have won, they would have taken some away from teams that we were also in contention with. Like the Phins, Pats, Chiefs

I get some of my best thinking done like that.

His salary for the season was guaranteed when he was on the roster in week 1.

 

NFLPA wants players to have the opportunity to prove themselves.........would make no sense for them to agree to force players to not play after they are cut.

 

The only players getting cut this late are ones that hold no value to the team.........offseason-tradeable or pending free agents who might be expected to count in the equation are held onto.    

 

So it's a washed up or nearly washed up players market only.
