After the Minnesota Vikings released star running back Dalvin Cook, the Miami Dolphins were rumored to be the front-runner in landing the four-time Pro Bowler.
Former NFL executive Michael Lombardi said he believes Cook would be a better fit for the New England Patriots in a recent appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show.”
Lombardi addressed whether or not DeAndre Hopkins would ultimately end up in New England before moving on to why Cook would be the better option for the Patriots.
“The Patriots have a ton of Cap room. So, if they signed Hopkins, I think it would be about getting the right deal for this season, taking a look at him,” Lombardi said.
