The running back does not agree with the role that has been assigned to him in the Jets, however his salary is a big obstacle to consider
FLORHAM PARK, NJ — Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook, admits to being frustrated by the reduced role with New York Jetson Thursday he indicated that he will speak with his agent and general manager Joe Douglas about the possibility of an exchange.
Dalvin Cook, who had just three carries for 12 yards in the Jets’ last game (a Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles) has been the subject of commercial speculation. The deadline for trades is Tuesday, October 31 at 4 pm ET. EU
“It’s something I can’t control, that my name is floating around in trade rumors. It could be a good thing. Maybe [es] something bad”.

When Cook signed a one-year, $7 million contract in August, two months after being released by the Minnesota Vikingspredicted that he and Breece Hall They would be the best running duo in the world. NFL. It hasn’t turned out that way. Hall averages a league-leading 6.5 yards per carry, while Cook ranks 44th among 44 qualified ball carriers with a mark of 2.8 yards.
“Of course it’s frustrating,” he stressed. Dalvin Cook. “I’m an honest person. I work. I want to play. And yes, it’s frustrating. It’s new for me. I come from receiving the ball 20 times a game, or as many times as necessary. Of course it’s frustrating. It’s something I deal with. I’ve been adapting.”
Dalvin Cook, 28, believes he is the same player who produced four consecutive rushing seasons of at least 1,100 yards with the Vikings, reaching four Pro Bowls. But his attempts have been limited, in part, because Breece Hall He returned from 2022 ACL surgery faster and better than expected. Cook rushed 13 times in the season opener, but his numbers are down.
In six games, he has just 39 carries for 109 yards and no touchdowns. He hasn’t recorded a run of more than 10 yards. “If you look at my career, the type of runner I am, I get better and better as the game goes on,” he analyzed.
Cook said he thought “teaming with Breece would be the best thing in the world for the New York Jets.” He didn’t have specific expectations in terms of carries, but figured it would be more than his current workload.
“We all thought it was going to be more than it is. But I wasn’t thinking about a percentage of him getting the ball or me getting the ball. I wasn’t thinking like that. I just thought… the opportunities will be distributed.”
Cook’s contract could deter potential suitors. He earns $262,222 for each game in which he is on the 53-man roster and another $70,588 for each game in which he is active. That’s a potential price tag of $3.3 million for the rest of the season.
Coach Robert Saleh He praised Cook for maintaining a good attitude in what he called a “difficult” situation, going from long-time starter to backup. Saleh said Cook, who missed most of training camp while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, has looked better in recent weeks.
“I think he’s getting his legs back and I think he’s running better, harder and looking more like himself,” Saleh described. “So hopefully we can continue to push that. It could be a nice one-two punch, obviously, with Dalvin and Breece.”
The defensive end Carl Lawson, Also in a diminished role, he seems open to an exchange. He is in the final year of his contract and should earn around $3.5 million for the rest of the season. The former starter, safe and sound in two games, has only three tackles and no sacks.
Referring to trade rumors, Carl Lawson He emphasized: “I definitely want to play and contribute. I know I can. I’ve shown it. Yes, I always want to contribute, but now I’m with the Jets, but I definitely want to play more. I definitely want to do what I did last year [siete capturas]…”.
