The New York Jets have agreed with free-agent running back Dalvin Cook on a one-year deal worth up to $8.6 million, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The 27-year-old has played all six of his NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, who released him on June 9.
Per Vikings senior editor Craig Peters, the move occurred because the team has "had to make multiple cuts because of the salary cap." Minnesota signed Cook to a five-year, $63 million extension with $28 million guaranteed in 2020. His release saves it $9 million off the cap in 2023.
