Cook says his role in the Jets’ talented backfield is simple: ‘Just be Dalvin’
Associated PressFLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Dalvin Cook joined the Jets knowing they already were stacked at running back. My number gets called, go be explosive.” That’s exactly what New York expects from Cook, a four-time Pro Bowl selection who was released by the Vikings on June 8 for salary cap savings. Just be me and help those guys grow, that’s it.” Cook will likely be playing for another contract next offseason after agreeing with the Jets on a deal worth up to $8.6 million, including incentives. “I think it’s just another man that, he’s done so much in his career,” said Hackett, who saw plenty of Cook when he was an assistant in Green Bay. I’m just here to be Dalvin Cook and be explosive and be a great teammate.” NOTES: Tony Oden, the Jets’ cornerbacks coach and senior defensive assistant, was back on the field coaching but with his left arm in a sling after he was injured during one of the several skirmishes Wednesday between players at New York’s joint practice with Tampa Bay.
