Dalvin Cook did not have to think twice about the chance of playing for a Jets team that is in win-now mode with the recent acquisition of Aaron Rodgers.
Cook, who was released by the Vikings on June 9 after six seasons in Minnesota, signed a one-year deal worth $7 million on Wednesday to join the four-time MVP in the Big Apple. On Thursday, after attending his first practice with the team, the four-time Pro Bowl running back told reporters that he is excited to no longer play against Rodgers in heated NFC North clashes.
“Being on the other side of that for the last six years, I couldn’t be on the other side no more,” Cook said, per ESPN. “Aaron is Aaron. If you don’t want to be part of something like that, I don’t know what you want in football.”
