Former Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is seeking a new team for the upcoming season and is intrigued by the possibility of reuniting with Mike Zimmer, who has returned to the NFL as the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys.
According to a report by Michael Gehlkin of The Dallas Morning News on March 26, Cook and Ezekiel Elliott are both considering signing with the Cowboys. Gehlkin noted, “Multiple people familiar with the players’ thinking told The News the veterans have interest in potentially signing with Dallas,” although Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones did not confirm or deny any mutual interest in Cook.
Head coach Mike McCarthy emphasized the Dallas Cowboys’ intention to bolster their running back group following Tony Pollard’s departure to the Tennessee Titans in the offseason.
“I think we definitely want to add to the running back room,” McCarthy stated, according to The Dallas Morning News. “We’re not done with that room by no means, whether it’s a veteran, whether it is a draft pick.”
