Following a challenging stint with the New York Jets, Dalvin Cook is gearing up for a fresh start and a shot at a Super Bowl championship with the AFC’s leading team.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Cook is set to sign with the Baltimore Ravens, who have secured the top seed in the AFC with an impressive 13-3 record. Cook will be joining forces with the league’s most prolific rushing offense, spearheaded by the frontrunner for the MVP award, Lamar Jackson, along with seasoned runner Gus Edwards and rookie sensation Keaton Mitchell.

Cook’s time with the Jets was less than stellar, as he struggled to make an impact during his 15-game tenure, accumulating just 214 rushing yards and failing to find the end zone on 67 carries. Following a disappointing Thursday night loss to the Cleveland Browns last week, the four-time Pro Bowler was released by the team.
It’s worth noting that Cook had enjoyed a remarkable four consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons with the Minnesota Vikings from 2019 to 2022. However, during the previous offseason, the Vikings made the tough decision to release Cook as part of a cap-saving maneuver, which ultimately led him to the Jets.
