Dalvin Cook has received a surprising lack of reported interest since his release from the Minnesota Vikings earlier this offseason. But this weekend, the free-agent running back appeared to show some interest in joining the New England Patriots.
Cook retweeted a clip of The Pat McAfee Show that suggested he could be a good fit with the Patriots organization.
“I believe that Dalvin Cook would be a good fit for the Patriots and they need another back,” former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi said in the clip.

Cook has also expressed interest in a division rival of the Patriots. Earlier this week, he talked about his potential fit with the Miami Dolphins.
“As a running back you look for a certain scheme and I know the scheme that I’m good in, and that’s outside zone, and that’s what the Miami Dolphins run. So it’s like, you know, it’d be a perfect fit,” Cook said Thursday on Sirius XM NFL Radio. “And the roster, like you said, speaks for itself.”
Cook, who’s notched 1,100+ yards rushing in each of the last four seasons, turns 28 in August.
The Patriots are also hoping to land free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.
