Dalvin Cook Running Backs Updates
Transcript
00:00 Let's take a look around the NFL more generally.
00:03 We've seen a lot of drama during this training camp already.
00:06 You gotta love it.
00:07 What has been something that has stood out to you
00:09 or surprised you?
00:10 - Well, contracts and injuries are the jump outs.
00:13 So we've got the Jonathan Taylor problem in Indianapolis.
00:17 And of course the rest of the league is watching this.
00:19 Everybody with a running back is watching this.
00:22 - All the free agent running backs are watching it.
00:23 - Yep, and maybe lessons to be learned
00:25 on what an owner should not say about his player
00:28 and what a team should not leak about its player,
00:30 especially if it turns out to not be true.
00:33 The Dalvin Cook sweepstakes, the Dalvin Derby,
00:35 where he visited the Jets, the Patriots are interested.
00:39 I think Ezekiel is probably the backup plan.
00:42 For whoever doesn't get Dalvin Cook,
00:45 who we're told wants $10 million APY,
00:48 whoever doesn't get Dalvin Cook
00:50 then quite possibly turns to Ezekiel.
00:52 And we can say this because of our working relationship
00:56 with him in Dallas over the course of the years.
00:59 That would be a classy guy for a locker room to add.
01:02 He would not make demands of anything.
01:04 He would help the kid if there's a kid to be helped.
01:07 And he wants to go, you know,
01:09 and there's not many more gasps for him.
01:12 He had 12 rushing touchdowns last year, 12 touchdowns.
01:15 He can still play, but you know, this isn't gonna,
01:17 he's not playing well into his thirties.
01:20 I think that much is clear.
01:21 So go win now.
01:23 Dalvin Cook thinks if he goes to the Jets
01:25 that the Jets are a super team with Aaron Rodgers there.
01:29 Maybe less so if Zeke goes there,
01:31 but there's no question in the AFC and in the AFC East,
01:35 the Bills are absolutely looking over at the Jets.
01:38 Going, boy, they've been bad for a long time.
01:40 They're not gonna be bad now.
01:41 And they did give us trouble last year.
01:43 The Patriots are looking at the Jets and going,
01:45 we don't, we're not comfortable finishing last place.
01:48 We like it when you're in last place.
01:50 So a game of dominoes involving Dalvin Cook
01:53 and other running backs in the AFC East.
