The Facts: Aaron Rodgers' pay reduction could immediately come in handy. Cook is flying to New York today for a visit with the Jets this weekend, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Thursday, per sources informed of the situation.

Diehards Line: Since Cook's release from Minnesota, the Jets have been one club rumored to be interested in the four-time Pro Bowl running back. It's a logical pairing, given the team's top back, Breece Hall, is coming off an ACL tear and on the physically unable to perform list, and the team's all in following the Rodgers trade. Cook would give the Jets a workhorse runner and home-run threat to pair with Hall whenever he can return (and take pressure off the young player from rushing back). News of the visit comes after Rodgers slashed roughly $35 million off his former contract, agreeing to a new two-year, $75 million guaranteed deal. The contract put Rodgers' cap number at under $9 million, giving the Jets space to add weapons like Cook, who averaged 4.7 yards per carry in six seasons in Minnesota. Rodgers knows Cook well from their duels in the NFC North. Now we'll see if they team up in New Jersey.
