The Facts: Free-agent running back Dalvin Cook visited the New York Jets during the final weekend of July, and even told Good Morning Football that odds were "pretty high" he would sign with Gang Green. A week has passed since, and no deal has come to fruition between the four-time Pro Bowler and the club. Thus, the waiting game continues. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport provided a quick update on the situation during Sunday's Inside Training Camp, saying that there is still a lot of "mutual interest" between the two parties.
Diehards Line:
According to Rapoport, "It would make a lot of sense, it just seems like both sides are kind of waiting before they move a little bit closer toward a signing," Rapoport explained. "It would not be a surprise, though, if that ended up happening." New York is also waiting on Breece Hall, who flashed as a rookie before tearing his ACL, to emerge off the physically unable to perform list, but a union with Cook could pay dividends both before and after the younger back is fully healthy. Should Cook eventually ink a deal with the Jets, his former rival, quarterback Aaron Rodgers, will have a full arsenal of offensive weapons everywhere he looks.
