At first blush, Dalvin Cook doesn't seem like an ideal fit for the New England Patriots. Why would they pay significant money for a Pro Bowl-caliber running back when they already have a workhorse back (whom Bill Belichick apparently "loves") making just $1.1 million in 2023 in Rhamondre Stevenson?
That's a fair point -- but what if the Patriots wouldn't have to pay Cook significant money?
During an appearance Monday night on NBC Sports Boston's Arbella Early Edition, Patriots reporter Phil Perry shared some notable context on the veteran running back, who remains unsigned in free agency after the Minnesota Vikings released him on June 9.
