NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Thursday morning that Cook is taking a flight to New York for a visit with the team over the weekend.
The report means Minnesota's former star running back could potentially team up with former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was traded to the Jets over the offseason.
Just this week, Rodgers reportedly agreed to a new two-year, $75 million guaranteed contract through the 2024 season.
Pelissero says it was a "major" pay cut for Rodgers and gives the team more cap space to bring in a top offensive weapon like Cook.
The Vikings released Cook in early June. The 27-year-old had a $10.4 million base salary and a $14.1 million cap hit for the 2023 season.
Minnesota selected Cook in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Injuries limited his play to just 15 games in his first two years, but since then he's been a consistent Pro Bowler.
