Dalvin Cook high on Jets ahead of visit, signing decision - ESPN

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Free agent running back Dalvin Cook was in the New York area Friday and sounded optimistic about his chances of signing with the Jets.

«I think [the odds] are pretty high, man,» Cook said on NFL Network's «Good Morning Football.» «I think we're in a position of, you know, a team that's building something special, and I want to be part of something special as a player. I want to add to whatever they've got going on.

»I think the possibility is high right now of getting things done."

Cook, who is spending Friday on Long Island, is scheduled to visit the Jets on Sunday. The Jets are on a two-day break before returning Sunday morning for their annual Green & White scrimmage at the team facility in Florham Park.

The running back said he will be looking for «a great vibe» during his visit, adding that he wants to be «around people that want to love on Dalvin Cook.»

From all indications, the Jets would love to add Cook, whom coach Robert Saleh described as a «dynamic ball carrier.» At some point, Cook will take a physical, and the Jets want to check out his shoulder, which was surgically repaired in February.

The Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots reportedly have interest in the four-time Pro Bowl selection. Cook said he doesn't have any visits scheduled, adding that he will reevaluate after meeting with the Jets. A source had told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Thursday that Cook was in talks with the Patriots about a possible visit.

Cook said the prospect of playing for his hometown Dolphins «would mean so much to me.… Just a Cinderella story.»

«I'm just trying to go through one step at a time, and the Jets are right at the top of the list, so let's go check the box,» he said.
