Thinking Ravens. But a ton of options. MIA could be at play if Mostert out longer. KC with Pacheco banged up. SF and CMC. Moss been hurt in IND. Plenty of more. 


But, but….he needs 6 weeks to learn the playbook and get acquainted with the terminology. It’s complicated ya know.

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.

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? 
 

End of roster guys get very few chances in the league as it is.

Nobody of note really gets cut mid-season, usually. Dalvin Cook is not a good back anymore.

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.

Don’t care about “losing their job” as long as they get paid. Pay attention. There have been others cut from their teams as a favor to the player so they can catch on with a contending team.

Dalvin Cook isn’t “a good back anymore”?
 

Are you basing it off his last 4 seasons of over 1,000 yards rushing per year and 4.7 yards a carry or this season where he only carried the ball 67 times all season?

He clearly lost a step last year and hasn't done anything this year. He is washed up. Everyone knows it.

Yeah, it looked like he lost a step last season. Especially on this play.
