The New York Jets have already made a couple of big splashes this offseason, with the biggest obviously being the trade to acquire superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers. Now, it appears that they may not be done putting in major work to improve their Super Bowl odds. Dalvin Cook appears to be their newest big target.

Over the last couple of months, rumors have been running rampant about Cook being on his way out of Minnesota. The Vikings have all but confirmed those rumors. It seems very likely that he will be on a new team when Week 1 hits.

In a recent report from Sports Illustrated, the Jets are mentioned as one of the two most interested teams in acquiring Cook. The other is the Dallas Cowboys.

Pairing Cook in the backfield with Rodgers would be a massive move for the Jets. They currently are banking on Breece Hall getting back to full health, which is a great option in and of itself. No matter how good and talented Hall is, adding Cook would be a big-time upgrade on the ground for New York.

During the 2022 season with the Vikings, Cook put together another big season. He carried the football 264 times for 1,173 yards and eight touchdowns. In addition to those numbers on the ground, Cook caught 39 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns.

It has been long documented that Rodgers loves utilizing his running backs out of the backfield as receivers. Cook has the ability and talent to be one of the best in the NFL in that aspect of the offense.
