The Jets and Cook mutually agreed to part ways Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Since the NFL trade deadline has already passed, Cook is subject to waivers. Assuming he does clear, the veteran running back will try to land with a contender to close out the season after his 17 weeks in New York produced below-average results. He opened the year in a 1B role alongside Breece Hall, but Cook quickly faded from the mix and has seen double-digit touches only once since Week 3. Cook was active last Thursday night against the Browns but played zero snaps. He finishes his Jets tenure with 67 carries for 214 yards (3.2 YPC) and zero touchdowns, adding 15 catches for 78 yards on 20 targets. Perhaps a change of scenery, and a team with better blocking, will rejuvenate him.
