So from a personal health perspective for Cook, not bad to sit and barely play. Also financially very good, got paid. From his competitive side, probably very frustrating. 

Cook is almost done playing football and he may look at this year after he retires as the reason he'll be able to walk more normally when he reaches 40+ years old. He's probably not thinking that way right now, but he's got the rest of his life in front of him and the quality of that life physically is important.

May be a lesson in here for his buddy Kirk.

Sounds like he’s a Raven, could be interesting…

Dalvin Cook is heading to Baltimore.
Cook, the veteran running back who was waived by the Jets this week, has agreed to terms with the Ravens, according to multiple reports.
The move came very quickly after Cook cleared waivers, and indicates that both the team and the player were eager to get together.
With the Ravens having earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC and first-round playoff bye, Cook will have a couple of weeks to get accustomed to the Ravens’ offense before the divisional round. It’s not a sure thing that Cook will be active for that game, but generally playoff teams don’t sign veteran players at this time of year unless they’re expecting them to be postseason contributors.
Cook was a disappointment with the Jets this season after signing a one-year contract, but the Ravens could use another ball carrier after putting Keaton Mitchell on injured reserve. Baltimore will hope Cook can prove he has something left in the playoffs. And Cook will hope to earn his first Super Bowl ring

He’s going to get himself a ring to finish up his career.
