Dalvin Cook trade rumors Jets RB frustrated over playing time could be on block at deadline

Dalvin Cook's arrival in New York was met with plenty of fanfare. But the four-time Pro Bowler has seen precious little time on the field in recent weeks, struggling to displace Breece Hall in the Jets depth chart.As such, it seems his time in the Big Apple could be coming to an unceremonious end before even getting started. Cook spoke to reporters on Thursday and admitted that he's Jakeem Grant Jersey been frustrated with a lack of opportunities.He also acknowledged that talks with his agent and general manager Joe Douglas were on the horizon. Everything is on the table, Cook said, including a trade. The trade deadline shuts at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Oct. 31.MORE:"It's something I can't control, that my name is being floated around in trade rumors," he said. "It might be a good thing. Maybe it's a bad thing."Cook, 28, inked a one-year, $7 million deal with New York over the summer. His brash running style replete with stiff arms, shoulder barges and leaving a wake of weary defenders along the canvas seemed a perfect complement for the more elegant stylings of Hall. Additionally, Cook offered Gang Green a much-needed safety net as Hall attempted to make a return after undergoing ACL surgery last year.Things haven't quite gone to plan for Cook in the Mike Gesicki Jersey months since. Hall is averaging a league-best 6.5 yards per carry, finding new life in his new-look limbs. Cook, meanwhile, is averaging just 2.8 yards per rush, 44th out of 44 qualified ball carriers."We all thought it was going to be more than what it is," Cook said. "But I wasn't thinking of a percentage of him getting the ball or me getting the ball. I wasn't thinking like that. I just thought ... the touches will get spread around."MORE:That hasn't happened. And it could have Cook searching for green pastures elsewhere.Cook has only eclipsed 10 carries one time this season (the first game of the year vs. Buffalo). He fielded a paltry three rushes against the Eagles last week. Hall got 17 touches in total(12 rushes, five catches)."Of course it's frustrating," Cook said. "I'm an honest person, man. I work. I want to play. That's just anyway. And, yeah, it's frustrating. It's new for me. I come from getting the ball 20 times a game, or however many times. Of course it's frustrating. It's something that I've been adapting to."Any move for Cook could prove cost-prohibitive. At $7 million average annual value (AAV), Cook is tied for the 10th highest-paid running back in football. With 109 yards on 39 carries, he hasn't proved to be especially good value for money. He earns $262,222 for every game he is on the 53-man roster. That number balloons to $332,810 when he's active. That's a potential $3.3 million bill that another employer would have to foot to secure Cook's services.Cook's health is a concern; he mi sed most of training camp recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. However, according to Jets head coach Robert Saleh, he's starting to show Greg Little Jersey flashes of his old self out there on the training ground."I do think he's getting his legs underneath him and I do think he's running better with more violence, and looking more like himself," Saleh said. "So, hopefully, we can continue to springboard that. It could be a good one-two punch, obviously, with Dalvin and Breece."
