With Cowboys rumors escalating, Dalvin Cook drops fresh indication of potential Aaron Rodgers teamup with Jets
Dalvin Cook's future in the NFL has become the talk of the town as the free agent looks for a new home. The former Minnesota Vikings running back has been linked with a host of teams with less than two weeks to go before the preseason games begin.
According to reports, the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys are closely monitoring Cook. However, the 27-year-old has now fuelled rumors of a potential move to the New York Jets to play alongside quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Cook recently visited the Jets during their practice sessions over the weekend and got an up-close-and-personal look at Rodgers. While the four-time Pro Bowler is still pondering his future, he seems to have given fans a hint of his next landing spot.
On Wednesday, Cook took to Twitter to show his love for the Jets and Rodgers. He quote-tweeted reporter Paul Andrew Edson Jr, who highlighted Rodgers' praise for the running back with a green-colored heart emoji.
Although Cook didn't finalize any contract details with the New York outfit, it seems that he was impressed with Rodgers and his comments as well.
It will be interesting to see which team Cook will suit up for in the 2023 season. Last week, the player spoke highly of the Cowboys and potentially partnering up with a great running back like Tony Pollard.
