Einstein Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/dalvin-cook-jets-mutually-agree-to-part-ways 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.

Beast Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) 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.

Billy Claude Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) 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. Edited January 2 by Billy Claude 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Positive Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 What's crazy is that he had over 1,000 yards rushing, almost 300 yards receiving, and 10 TDs just last year. 1 minute ago, Billy Claude said: Probably most non-sensical pickup of any of the Jets signings this season.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 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. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 There are oline situations that are complete disasters. The jets situation may be even below these. They are going to have to unload a defensive asset or two in order to give Rodgers any kind of shot next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's a washed up or nearly washed up players market only. This isn't correct. The guaranteed money on the contract was incentive-based and he received it each week he was on the active roster. Thus, if he wasn't on the active roster every week (i.e. Injured Reserve or Practice Squad) He doesn't get the money. He restructured his deal to be able to be cut. It's only 1 game, but the statement that his contract was fully guaranteed week 1 is false. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/dalvin-cook-21782/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's standard for veteran contracts to become fully guaranteed if the player is on the roster in week 1. So it doesn't materially change the dynamic of the situation. Not permitting a player to play elsewhere when there is runway left in the regular season isn't something the NFLPA is going to agree to. If only because one game auditions can result in major career and financial gains for a player. Rob Johnson cost the Bills a 1st round pick to acquire largely off of a 1 game audition in 1997 where he threw for 344 yards and 2 TD's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
