Free agent running back Dalvin Cook, who is set to meet with the Jets this weekend is doing some press ahead of the sit down with Gang Green and looks to be shooting up a flare to the Miami Dolphins.
Asked about his chances of becoming a Jet by the folks over at Good Morning Football on NFL Network, Cook said “I think they’re pretty high, man.”. However, when asked about the possibility of playing for another team that has been bidding on his services, the Jets division rival and his home town Miami Dolphins, Cook said it would be a “Cinderella story” to play in his back yard.
Cook reminded viewers that his decision is not yet made and he is still “weighing my options”. This, just weeks after saying publicly that the Dolphins would be a “perfect fit”.
If the Dolphins don’t up their offer and the Jets meet Cook’s demands, there’s a good chance he lands at 1 Jets Drive and forms one of the NFL’s top running back tandems as by joining Breece Hall.
