Dalvin Cook's time with the New York Jets has ended.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Cook and the Jets have mutually agreed to part ways. This will allow Cook to potentially join and play for a playoff team.
ESPN's Adam Schefter further reports that Cook is "restructuring his deal to forfeit remaining guarantees."
This was not the season Cook had hoped for, ending with only 67 carries for 214 yards and no touchdowns. In his seven year career, this was by far his worst performance.
Cook signed a one-year, $8.6 million deal, joining Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. However, no one could have predicted the MVP quarterback would tear his Achilles just 75 seconds into his debut, knocking him out for the season.
And with that, the Jets went from a possible Super Bowl contender to a struggling team with quarterback issues once again.
In October, Cook expressed his frustration with his role in the offense.
“Of course it’s frustrating,” Cook said. “I’m an honest person. I want to play. Yeah, it’s frustrating. It’s new to me. I come from getting the ball 20 times a game or however many times. Yeah, of course it’s frustrating.”
Cook played behind Breece Hall, who was coming off an impressive rookie performance. And he doubled his production in his second year, recording 186 carries for 816 yards and four touchdowns across 16 games this season. On the receiving side, he also has 74 receptions for 579 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns.
That didn't leave much for Cook to do.
Hall reacted to the news soon after it broke, showing love for his fellow running back.
It's clear that bringing Cook to New York did not work out, so let's see where he ends up next. Hey, maybe he'll even join the next Super Bowl champions.
