JETS NEWBIE DALVIN COOK IS 9TH-HIGHEST-PAID NFL RB: 1 YEAR, $8.6M!
By Max Harper
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Jets signed RB Dalvin Cook to a one-year, $8.6 million contract.
Although only a one-year deal, the $8.6 million makes Cook the ninth highest paid running back considering average annual value.
Cook joins a retooled Jets roster that also brought in quarterback Aaron Rodgers this offseason, giving him exactly what he was searching for in free agency – to be paid what he feels he’s worth and to join a Super Bowl contender.
The Jets now lock up their stopgap and insurance policy while they wait for the return of the electric second-year back Breece Hall.
