Cowboys to sign running back Dalvin Cook to one-year contract, per reports
View Date:2024-12-23 14:54:52
One day after working out for the Dallas Cowboys, Dalvin Cook will sign a one-year deal with the team, his agency told ESPN and NFL Network.
The four-time Pro Bowl running back did not sign with a team during training camp. Cook played sparingly for the New York Jets last season and signed with the Baltimore Ravens for the playoffs (he appeared in one game). Dallas hosted Cook for a workout Tuesday.
Cook, 29, will sign to the Cowboys' practice squad but is still eligible to be elevated prior to Dallas' Week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 8.
The Cowboys reunited with former first-round pick Ezekiel Elliott at running back this offseason. Rico Dowdle and Duece Vaughn are also on the roster. Tony Pollard, who led the team in rushing the previous two seasons, signed with the Tennessee Titans in free agency.
Now Cook will also join quarterback Dak Prescott in the backfield. Cook's best seasons came from 2019-22 with the Minnesota Vikings. He ran for at least 1,135 yards each season with a career best 1,557 in 2020, when he also had a career-high 16 rushing touchdowns. The former Florida State product scored 14 times over his final two campaigns with the Vikings and the Jets gave him 67 carries before he bolted for Baltimore.
