Mixed emotions.  Have to assume Hall won’t be ready for a month. 
 

probably the end for Bam 

 

 

Nah I’d trade Carter b4 releasing Bam. It’s only a 1 year deal. Bam is a good back to keep and more versatile than Carter. And he has a cooler name. 

[Larz]

Week 1 Bills

Week 2 Cowboys

Everyone gets a kick out of making fun of the cowboys but they are loaded. 
 

If Hall is not up to speed , Cook gives them a running game to take advantage of the light boxes and this defense looks awesome but the Chiefs put up 38 on the Eagles and they are week 4

Between the DL rotation and now the RB rotation, it feels like we're emulating the 49ers.  Not a bad thing at all (though obviously our QB is much better but our HC is questionable while theirs is top-tier).

Plan is to take early leads, force turnovers with pass rush and run the ball in the 4th.

Carter is a jag with fumbling issues.  Plus they need tougher runners now.  Izzy is a better version of carter.

I think Carter is a bit mentally soft but has more talent than anyone besides Cook and Hall.

Could be Carter is traded. Knight will probably be cut

Nah, they won't get rid of both.

Everything we read is Breece being ready for week one. But with not much practice and a tough early schedule, I’m assuming they wanna ease him back slowly if he is ready. And let’s be honest we have a two-year window here so it’s really good insurance if Breece is either not ready or doesn’t get back to his normal self until next season.

The track record of RBs the year after his injury is really rough.  By 2024 he should be fine but 2023 will absolutely be slow going for him, whether he suits up Week 1 or not.  We definitely needed to add to the RB room.

I just didn't think Cook was the guy we needed to go get, is all.  My preference was to wait to see who springs loose on cutdown day.

Hey, Namath sold his and it worked out.

 

[BigRy56]

The Jets didn’t score a touchdown for 7 weeks straight to end last year. I am not losing an ounce of sleep giving Cook 7m per

[Beerfish]

We were a winning team with zac Wilson at QB last year and when Breece Hall went down we plummeted off a cliff.  The Jets were determined for that not to happen this year.

I've always liked Cook and am glad we got him but the price is a fair bit higher than I thought it would be.

Oline is really the worry now.  At least we have much better depth and numbers this year but still a bit of a worry.

I'm good with whatever Emperor Rodgers says at this stage.  Glad its only a 1-year deal.  Eno Benjamin tearing his ACL really took the wind out of my sails on the cutdown RB market anyways, lol.

I legit thought of you when I first found out about Eno 

[Coffee Is Great]

We needed some kind of Breece insurance. You can't rely on a guy coming back from a major knee injury. Maybe he'll surprise us, maybe he won't--but he likely won't be himself until 2024. Cook has lost a step but he's worth it on a one-year deal. 

[Alentador31]

Great signing. Cook is far from washed.....stop reading stats and watch the guy play. 

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Cool. Now trade for Mike Evans.

LFG. probably my favorite RB prospect since DMC… my expectations are simply that he helps get us to NOV when B Hall is 100%

I laugh because I actually remember your DMC love pre draft that year

Been on these boards way too long lol

[Trotter]

I don’t like the guys character but I have learned to separate that from simply a guy wearing the laundry to help the team win.

have to keep emotion out it unless of course we are talking about Jason taylor, then there is no exception

[Rhg1084]

Cook will earn every dollar of that salary. They gonna run him into the ground early in the season!

Joe W was adamant for months that the Jets had "less than zero" interest in Dalvin Cook.

Much like they had no interest in Aaron Rodgers, per Joe W.

The man is a walking contrarian to the truth.

[Larz]

Dalvin Cook over the last 4 seasons:

💥 5,024 rushing yards (3rd among RBs)
💥 4.7 yards per carry
💥 43 rushing TDs (2nd among RBs)
💥 1,399 receiving yards (6th among RBs)

I am not a big fan of Cook, and I am not thrilled with this.  But we still need to see the details on the incentives.  Price is up to $8.6M. 

[jetlaw]

This doesn’t mean Knight or Carter are gone. I would keep Hall on the injured list for the first few weeks. By the time he’s healthy odds are one of the other backs are hurt. This gives us a strong stable of running backs to get through the year.

See this as a good signing.  Will now glance at the negative comments.  
I’m sure AR is happy. Probably pushed for it

And it’s his money

[win4ever]

Interesting timing I guess.  When Zach Martin extended his contract, both the Pats and Jets signed RB targets.  I wonder if they were both saving some space in case the things with Martin went south.  

I'm ok with the signing, mainly because I'm not sure there is much else to do with the money right now.  There isn't that "OMG, why is he unsigned?" type talent out there.  You could make an argument for Clowney but that position is beyond deep on the roster.

Either the jets have little faith in carter until breece returns, or they have serious doubts about breece returning to form for a big chunk of the season.

I don't want a penny of his deal to be incentive-based.  We don't need him complaining about touches late in the season.  

[shawn306]

Love this.

I didn’t think Hall was going to ready opening day for a full load. Maybe 10-15 touches early and then build from there. 
 

This is a major win. Another weapon for Rodgers

[Drums]

Trusting JD on this one. That's why they pay him the big bucks.

[CanadienJetsFan]

Super pumped about this signing.

Cook gives defensive coordinators one more headache to scheme for.

management is putting money where their mouth is. That’s all we can ask for.
