Four-time Pro Bowl RB Dalvin Cook is changing sides at the right time. With 13 wins, the Ravens sit at the top of the AFC. Lamar Jackson is in incredible form, and the team will look to clinch the Super Bowl after 11 years. Dalvin Cook joined hands with the Jets because they had signed Aaron Rodgers, but now he is interested in being a mainstay with the Ravens.

After recording his worst season with the Jets, Cook has been waived by the franchise on Tuesday. In Rodgers-less Jets, Cook averaged the lowest yards in his career, at just 3.2. This is not a shadow of what the RB is meant to accomplish. The Jets are out of the playoffs race and agreed with Cook to let him go. This has made the Ravens secure the keyman at the right time.
