Jets’ flirtation with controversial Dalvin Cook is wrong and pathetic
The Jets should not be even entertaining bring controversial running back Dalvin Cook to New York, Phil Mushnick writes.nypost.com
Cook has proven that he’s not a fellow discriminate, sophisticated New York fans can suffer, let alone indulge.
During his “student-athlete” days at Florida State, one of several Sunshine State universities that annually recruit, exploit [and now employ] then discard rotten-risk football players in the worsening netherworld of colleges serving as fronts for football and basketball teams, Cook was a consistent reprobate.

Even in his freshman year, Cook was trouble, from firing a BB gun to bust car windows, to his being an “associate” in an aggravated assault case in which a firearm was allegedly aimed at a neighbor in Cook’s apartment [one of the accusers said he didn’t think the weapon was Cook’s], to the abuse of his three pit bull puppies.

The dogs, ages two months to eight months, were unsheltered and so heavily chained they were unable to move. Two of the pups were found choking.
What a guy!
The next year Cook was charged — later acquitted — with punching a woman outside a Tallahassee bar.
Naturally, none of this prevented Cook from becoming a second-round pick in the 2017 draft.
And as of November 2021, he stands accused in a lawsuit of brutalizing his ex-girlfriend, beating her head bloody and swollen, as seen in photos distributed to the public.
At first, Cook’s lawyer claimed the alleged victim is just a gold digger, that Cook is innocent. Of course he did.
As the Jets pursued Cook, court documents showed that Cook first offered her $800,000 to drop the suit, then $1 million. She rejected both deals. That’s a lot of wood for an innocent man to offer a woman who fabricated the claim instead of defending himself in court for a lot less money.
And it’s a lot of dough for a liar to turn down.
Like I said, our pass rush sucked last year. We finished dead last in sacks. Not sure where we ranked in terms of QB pressures and hits, but my guess is it had to be near or at the bottom as well. I don't know of any Bears fan who considers the signing of Ngakoue as being an instant ticket to the Super Bowl. But he will improve our pass rush, which is all we're expecting of him. Anything positive beyond that is gravy.
You sound like an optimistic view from a fan to me. The NFL years left many viking fans with bitter outlooks of other teams that helped prevent their greatness.
some team will give in to him eventually.probably the dolphins cause they are desperate for a running game other than moster
There goes some of my fantasy teams
mixon and his girlfriend are in trouble for shooting at a neighbor according to espn.that,s pretty serious.
You know, I do remember all this same news coming out about mahomes in camp before he went on to be league mvp. Not in anyway saying baker is close to that but I take all this camp noise with a grain of salt
