Cook was released by Vikings after 6 seasons
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The New York Jets have been linked to four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook for several weeks but the reality of potentially signing the former Minnesota Vikings star is starting to seem like a very real possibility.
Cook’s agent, Zac Hiller, didn’t mince words when asked during an interview on "The Manchild Show w/ Boy Green," about reports linking him to the Jets.

He continued, "That guy is a complete franchise city-changing player and that’s somebody that you absolutely want to play with at some point in your career, one hundred percent."

"You play football your whole life for the opportunity to get to the highest level, and that’s winning a Super Bowl. So, as far as the New York Jets, I believe they’re right there, I really do."
