The Dallas Cowboys should waste no time picking up the phone to call on freshly released veteran running back Dalvin Cook.
Cook's agent tells NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that the New York Jets and four-time Pro Bowler have mutually agreed to part ways as of Tuesday.
Cook is nowhere near the bell cow running back that he used to be during his first six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, however, he would make for a solid No. 2 running back on a team that needs him.
And a fresh set of legs is exactly what the Cowboys could use as they make a Super Bowl run.
Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy stressed on Monday that they need to spend more time on their run game during preparation this week since it's nowhere near where it's supposed to be.
Starting running back Tony Pollard hasn't been his explosive self and it shows as he has been held to under 60 rushing yards and zero rushing TDs in four straight contests.
Backup Rico Dowdle is dealing with an ankle injury and struggles in pass protection, while Hunter Luepke has been utilized more as a fullback.
As a low-risk and potential high-reward addition, Cook could come and be the dynamic support that Pollard needs right now.
Before Cook's departure from New York, he appeared in 14 games with the Jets, rushing for 214 yards on 67 attempts while also reeling in 15 receptions for 78 yards.
Cook will first go through the waivers and assuming he clears, he is free to sign with any team.
