The New York Jets and four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook have mutually agreed to part ways, as reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network and confirmed via the ESPN App. The decision, which comes with one game left in the season, allows Cook to pursue an opportunity with a playoff contender. Cook's one-year stint with the Jets, for which he was guaranteed $5.8 million, was marked by minimal usage and disappointing results. Over 15 games, he accumulated just 67 carries for 214 yards and no touchdowns. The Jets paid Cook a total of $6.7 million, breaking down to $81,426 per touch, considering his 67 rushes and 15 catches. Cook's release opens the door for him to join a team with Super Bowl aspirations, with rumors suggesting potential interest from other teams, as per Josina Anderson.
