The Jets are getting ready to begin training camp this week and while the roster is pretty much set, there’s still a chance they bring in a new face that can help boost the running game.
The latest odds from DraftKings shows the Jets at +400 to sign free-agent running back Dalvin Cook. As strong as that number is, there are still two teams ahead of them and both are division rivals.
In a bit of a surprising twist, the Patriots are now the betting favorites at +150 to sign Cook. Perhaps then missing out on DeAndre Hopkins, who signed with the Titans, helped boost that number. After that, it’s the Dolphins at +200.
Based on the betting board, the Patriots, Dolphins and Jets look like the three strongest options for Cook. Next on the list are the Denver Broncos at +1200, so there’s a noticeable gap between the Jets and Broncos. The Bills are tied with the Dallas Cowboys at +1500.
With the franchise tag deadline approaching for backs such as Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs, perhaps things will start moving a bit on the Cook front. We’ll see if the Jets do happen to land Cook or if he does land somewhere else in the AFC East.
