Fmr. Vikings RB Dalvin Cook reportedly parts ways with Jets, available to join a playoff contender
NEW YORK — Former Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook's time with the New York Jets is reportedly over.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Cook and the Jets "mutually agreed to part ways," which will allow the four-time Pro Bowl running back to potentially play for a playoff team.
Before parting ways with New York, Cook reportedly restructured his current deal to forfeit his remaining guarantees, per NFL on CBS insider Jonathan Jones.
Cook was signed by the Jets over the offseason after the Vikings released him. He had 16 touches in the first game of the season, but saw his role diminish as the season went on. He has only 67 carries for 214 yards on the season and was a healthy scratch in the Jets' loss to the Cleveland Browns last week.
