The Jets’ running backs have heard the chatter for weeks. The team’s flirtation with Dalvin Cook was very public when he came to Florham Park to visit.
But on Saturday, in their preseason game against the Panthers, the current Jets running backs showed the team might not need Cook.That should make general manager Joe Douglas think twice about signing Cook.“We ignore it. Talk is cheap,” running back Michael Carter said. “Dalvin’s a great player. Dalvin’s probably one of the best college football running backs of all time [at Florida State], in my opinion growing up in north Florida. He’s a really good player.
He had a strong rookie season in 2021 but dropped off last year. Carter has spoken about how difficult last year was.Hall emerged as the team’s lead back and then when Hall tore his ACL in Week 7, the Jets traded for James Robinson rather than allowing Carter to carry the load. “Everything is different,” Carter said. “This year I feel better than both of those years. I appreciate coach saying that. Everyone’s got their own opinions, but I appreciate it. I feel good.”The Jets’ offense is going to revolve around new quarterback Aaron Rodgers, of course, but the running game will be critical.
