MrEpsYtown Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Browns is my guess. His best years were when Kevin Stefanski was his OC. So he’s plug and play there this late in the season. To me that is the best fit. in fact most of his success came in that Shannahan/Gary Kubiak system. So the other teams who make sense are the 49ers and the Dolphins, he grew up a Dolphins fan. The Rams and Texans also run the same system. If he wants a ring he should go to the Niners and add to the weapons there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. How is that fair to the bums that can lose their jobs due to injured players returning at a moments notice?

Utah John Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) The Jets with their terrible O line were a bad fit for Cook. Even Breece Hall is seldom able to get going, and he's got a lot more tread left on his tires. Dalvin Cook probably is better than he looked this year. Last year he was still really good (remember him ripping off a long TD against the Bills for the Vikings?). In the right setting with a good O line he might be a valuable pickup.

Captain Hindsight Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 16 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: 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. I’m not dumping on him, but the move made little sense any way you slice it. He as dumped last year after his YPC and effectiveness was clearly dropping. His yards and touchdowns are more volume than production. The jets were always going to feature Hall more and for more than 5 million? They couldn’t find that production elsewhere?

Another organization signing a name instead of watching film Im not referring to what Jets paid. Im saying people acting like he is done because it didn’t go well with the Jets is foolish to me, because it was never gonna go well there between a bad OL and Breece being healthy. Point is, Dalvin can still contribute. With him being a FA there is a strong chance he could go somewhere like Baltimore who is thin at RB and the could provide value. I could also see KC, Dallas, or Miami. This isn’t a player coming back from injury or been sitting on the couch all year looking for a team to join late. He’s in game ready shape and can still bring value to several teams contending right now. So I would have preferred he stayed with Jets rather than potentially bringing some value to someone we might face in postseason. To dismiss his value to someone like Chiefs or Ravens just because the Jets are a train wreck for example would be silly. I hope he goes to someone like Dallas or Miami rather than KC or Balt. He doesn’t change the fate for Dal or Mia, but he could be a reliable pair of hands in KC and he would at least be in the rotation at RB for Balt and could excel there.

Bill from NYC Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 On 1/2/2024 at 4:40 PM, BADOLBILZ said: Then he set the terms of his release. 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. LOL I watched that game in a sports bar. RJ was freaking great that day. Tell me, is my memory fading or did he even suffer some sort of injury in that game? I readily admit that I thought RJ was extremely talented and would have a wonderful career. 🙂🙄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also injured during his big game against the Ravens and was inactive for the next three games. In those days, before analytics, I feel that sacks were always blamed on the o-line (at least by the public) so nobody thought to consider how often he was sacked.

We probably still would’ve split our games with them I’m not sure he would’ve made a difference in our 2 games, but I have no doubt he would’ve made a difference in their season overall. Their QB play was so atrocious except for maybe 3 Wilson “comeback” games that even an old Rodgers would have been a huge upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
