FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- With eight words, New York Jets coach Robert Saleh unwittingly sparked intense fan and media speculation with regard to potential interest in free agent running back Dalvin Cook.
"We'll turn the stones over on that one," Saleh said recently.
From all indications, the Jets have maintained a level of interest in Cook. How much is unclear. Looking for clues, perceptive fans noticed that team owner Woody Johnson recently started following Cook on Twitter -- the only non-Jets player (past or present) on his follow list. Hmm.
With 39-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Jets believe they have a one- or two-year championship window.
