ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared on X that veteran running back Dalvin Cook is signing with the Baltimore Ravens after going unclaimed on waivers. The New York Jets released Cook on Tuesday, and per ESPN’s Rich Cimini the move gave the running back the opportunity to potentially sign with a contender in a move that was “mutually agreed upon” by the two parties.
The 28-year-old Cook signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Jets in the offseason, but saw limited playing time as his role diminished behind second-year standout Breece Hall. The seven-year pro wasn’t given a single snap in a Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns, and also only saw five snaps in Week 16. In 15 games, Cook logged just 214 rushing yards and 78 receiving yards on 15 receptions, all career-lows.
