New York Jets to sign RB Dalvin Cook to 1-year deal, source tells ESPN
. Cook has a one-cut style that should fit nicely in the Jets' outside zone running scheme. The Jets, who haven't had a 1,000-yard rusher since 2015, get a back with four straight 1,000-yard seasons.But he arrives with some question marks. Having battled chronic shoulder injuries since college, Cook underwent surgery Feb. 14 and he's coming off his least efficient season. Cook is still expected to be ready for the season, a source said.
Despite a separated shoulder last season, he played every game. While Cook rushed for 1,173 yards in 2022, his per-carry average was a career-low 4.4. He led the NFL with 62 carries for a loss or no gain and only 34.5% of his carries gained a positive total of yards over expectation, per Next Gen Stats, the second-lowest rate among running backs with at least 200 carries in 2022.
In 2021, a former girlfriend filed a lawsuit against him, alleging physical and emotional abuse. He then filed a defamation suit against her. Both cases are pending. The Star-Tribunethat he offered her $1 million to clear him of wrongdoing despite her previously sworn abuse allegations against him. Saleh, commenting on his sit-down with Cook, called him "a very good young man. He has a plan, he knows exactly what he wants and it was a really good discussion."
