Dallas Cowboys Sign Running Back Dalvin Cook
The Dallas Cowboys have announced a new addition to their roster, running back Dalvin Cook. This move comes as the Cowboys look to solidify their options at the running back position, even with the return of two-time rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott.
Cook, who was previously with the New York Jets, joins the Cowboys on a new contract. The plan is to initially place Cook on the practice squad, providing depth to the team’s backfield.
During his time with the Jets, Cook’s role was limited, with just 67 carries for 214 yards in 15 games. However, prior to that, Cook enjoyed success with the Minnesota Vikings, earning three consecutive Pro Bowl selections and recording career highs in rushing yards and touchdowns.
Mike Zimmer, now the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys, previously coached Cook during their time together in Minnesota. This reunion could prove beneficial for both parties as they look to maximize Cook’s potential in Dallas.
With Elliott and Cook both entering their ninth season in the NFL, questions surround their longevity in the league. However, with their combined experience and talent, the Cowboys hope to create a dynamic backfield with multiple options for the offense.
Overall, the addition of Dalvin Cook brings depth and experience to the Dallas Cowboys’ running back group, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
