Legendary running back Dalvin Cook has had a rough time this season. Despite being the master of his craft, he ended up being a free agent. The Miami Dolphins showed interest in acquiring Cook, but it was suggested that the contracts of Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs played a role in the standoff as Cook was looking for a better deal. Despite the deadline being July 17th, an agreement was not reached, and Cook’s future in the league remains uncertain.

Dalvin recently made plans to partner with the Jets in hopes of being recognized for his abilities. He has even spoken highly of the Jets in recent interviews, including on “Good Morning Football.” This Sunday, he joined the team’s practice and observed their style closely. However, during this time, a fan who seemed unaware of his identity gave him an unfiltered opinion.

This Sunday, the New York Jets welcomed free agent RB Dalvin Cook to their practice. He peeped the entire session from the sidelines and was greeted with love by his fans, who chanted his name. Cook interacted with owner Woody Johnson and vice chairman Christopher Johnson. That day, he underwent a physical examination, talked with players, and met with the coaches.

The NFL Rumors page shared a post about Dalvin Cook that will blow your mind. Cook was at a local deli when he bumped into a guy. He was reading a news piece about Cook’s visit to Jet, and he remarked that Jet would get a shot at the Super Bowl if they joined forces with Dalvin. The fan seemed to have no idea he was talking to Dalvin Cook solely.

The Minnesota Vikings released Cook due to salary cap concerns. Cook’s signing might help Jets with a dynamic and versatile playmaker in a position where they already have a quality running back corps. Despite the battle for the running back position, the Jets’ priority is to improve the squad, not to keep other teams like the Dolphins and Patriots from signing Cook.

While supporters yelled his name from the stands, he was seen conversing with Jets owner Woody Johnson on the sidelines. Cook has been on a media tour, visiting various venues, and the Jets have expressed interest in signing him. Cook had a strong season last year, gaining 1,173 yards and scoring eight times. Having Cook on their roster will make them a powerful team, and give them a real shot at the Super Bowl, just like the fan said. On top of that, they have Aaron Rodgers with them to guide them through.
