Dalvin Cook Perplexed Over Reduced Role; Jets Open to Trading Frustrated Running Back

Cook, with a disappointing 39 carries for 109 yards this season, openly voices frustration over diminished role; Jets coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas open to exploring trade options.

After signing a $7 million contract in August with the Jets, Dalvin Cook expresses frustration over his limited role and reduced touches in the 2023 season.
Jets coach Robert Saleh acknowledges Cook's frustration, noting that he prefers players express discontent than remain silent, suggesting that Cook remains an integral part of the team.
Cook's diminished role stems partially from the impressive performance of rookie player Breece Hall who currently boasts 426 yards after 66 carries and 13 receptions for 113 yards.
