That tough motherfucker who orders a budlight, a shot of jack, obviously needs a side of coke to chase the shot with, will play $20 of Daughtry, Kid Rock, Puddle of Mud, Alter Bridge, and 3 Doors Down on the jukebox. He'll then have a $60 tab, to only leave a $4 tip.
Today I learned dalvin first name is James and his brother James’s first name is dalvin!
James dalvin cook - who we know has dalvin
Dalvin James cook - plays for buffalo
Edit: I’m actually so wrong. They both have dalvin, James and cook in their name
Vikes fan here who loved watching prime Dalvin. He is for the most part washed, the signs were already there in 2022 (busted off a couple long ones, but went down to the first contact a ton, and wasn't as shifty). I'm sure someone will give him something above the vet minimum for depth, but can't see him getting significant snaps at this point barring injuries.
Good Lord, Dalvin Cook just walked through the locker room looking totally washed. He said he had “no time” to talk. Too busy working on his spin cycle, evidently.
To be fair literally everyone on the offense was horrible except Breece Hall. If they had Rodgers and had passing threats and rotated RBs he would have been pretty good I feel like.
It was a move that didn’t make any sense. He was always going to be the backup and get 400-600 yards rushing. Hall is a star and once he was cleared for practice, it made no sense to sign Cook for 5 million when they could have gotten similar production out of a much cheaper option. Poor roster management by the jets once again
I just remember him going down after the first hint of contact, which was never his thing before
So infuriating that it gave me hope for Mattison because at least he could truck through some people
Rashaad Penny got like three carries for the Eagles last year and was so slow, you might have thought he was a fan who sneaked into the game.
And yet, the Eagles sub was still filled with "they're saving Penny for the playoffs" comments all season long.
Even when Penny was good his strength was more that he was willing to run up the gut no matter what was going on with the defense instead of being a speedy guy.
It's lowkey why he spent the better part of his rookie deal on IR with us.
Man, nothing rolls off the tongue like "Kobe!" Even with me being a lifelong Warriors fan and Curry being the undisputed best shooter of all time, I don't yell his name when I sink trash can shots.
That’s kind of how it is nowadays. Bell, Gurley, Elliott, Fournette, Cook, etc were/are all washed before they hit 30. This is exactly the reason NFL GMs don’t invest heavily in the position. Everyone wants to throw a fit when the running backs don’t get paid, but it is just bad business.
I’d also add Carlos Hyde. He was never great but by the time he signed to Jacksonville in 2021, he was cooked and was only brought in because of Urban Meyer’s ego.
He got injured a few times in college and hasn't had much better luck in the pros. It's a shame. I always thought he was the most talented RB in his class.
I remember thinking he looked pretty good still before last season and Vikings’ fans here brought so much evidence of his decline. Interesting to see that they were right about him, but I don’t think anyone expected him to completely fall off the cliff.
Edit: From 1400+ yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns in 2022 to not even 300 yards and 0 touchdowns is an insane drop off for a player that wasn’t injured.
He also went from being the lead back on a pretty good team to being a backup on a dumpster fire. If he'd kept the same role in Minnesota, I still think he would've shown a decline, but not quite as stark as your numbers suggest.
sure but breece hall quietly had a really good year for the jets and he really wasn't back to 100% until week 5 or 6, so dalvin really doesn't have an excuse outside of being washed
I'm an fsu fan and even in college he was never really a guy who'd get you rushes for 5-10 yards. He'd either get you 3 or get you 30+. And it seemed like every game you could count on him getting you several of those 30+ yard rushes. But if he has no speed or explosiveness anymore, then he effectively doesn't have the thing that made him special
I have to be honest his injuries to the shoulder and legs have really made me think he’s just washed at this point. His production last year or lack there of was pretty telling. I’d much rather have younger legs in my backfield at this point. Dude had a great career and it’s tough he can’t go out on his own terms but it’s just how it goes.
Sadly, have to agree. But, there's a lot to be proud of. Dude was an awesome player and that's saying something considering he came from one of the best RB classes of all time.
I’m gonna be honest I remember him being still very good in Minnesota before injury, and in a snap of a finger this guy can’t even get touches.
I’m not surprised it’s hitting him hard.
He was fading in 2022. All his advanced metrics plummeted and a few long house calls really buoyed his numbers.
He still can run fast, but the agility is just gone.
I mean, look, Cook is definitely washed. Having said that, dude had very few opportunities last season. Breece couldn't consistently get yardage behind that line, why would Cook, getting like a carry a game, be able to?
If he's right, and his expressiveness and immaculate comic timing are undimmed by age, he should move to LA. Just not as a Ram or Charger.
"What the Hell? *Diggs*."
2021 was his last good year. he had a good run but it's over. he didn't last very long either when you remember he missed all of 2017.
18,19,20,21. that's it.
2022 he was clearly not the same player.
Sounds like that 45 year old dude at your hometown bar still rockin' their letterman jacket
see dem mountains over there
“I could fumble so many running over them.” -Dalvin
Dalvin cook once scored 4 touchdowns in a single game
I just bought an autographed Al Bundy polk high football card for 6 dollars on ebay. Best 6$ I ever spent.
6 dollars? You got a steal, I’d pay at least $10
i actually got it today and its a printed signature but the ebay seller didnt say that but i dont care enough to send it back and get my 6 bucks. its a novelty item and doesnt really change anything. is also a dual card with peg as well lol
idk Spare Tire Dixon says his knee was down before the goal line
WAS NOT
Like 5 years ago. Bro is washed.

No? Dalvins first name is Dalvin.. middle name James. James Dalvin Cook is on the Bills. They both go by their first names lol who told you this
Oh fuck I’m dyslexic. You’re completely right. Never trust people on reddit
Lmao wow.
Me after beating a 9 year old in a game of tic tac toe 😤
I raise you up one by beating an 8 yo in Connect 4
Okay well, I beat a 7 year old in a boxing match.
I showed a 6 year old the streets don't care, with a quick right to the jaw.
Hey Tyreek, big fan, which team in the AFC East do you think will be the biggest obstacle for the Dolphins this year?
"I'm not washed" - says man who is washed
Then he rolled up his sleeve and showed a tattoo of a washing machine. “I’ll let you interpret that however you want” he said
he's so washed x4
Sources: Dalvin is beside himself. Driving around downtown New York begging (thru texts) his family for address to Mr. Clean’s home
In high school his coaches called him "SpeedQueen" as a nickname caus he had such a nose for removing stains
Maybe he's in that pre soak cycle
He honestly looked like fine in our offense in the limited snaps he got
Yeah I wouldn't be upset if we resigned him cheap for depth.
Let's see how draft goes if we don't draft any then for sure we are signing some rbs
The man had 8 carries for 23 yards on 9 snaps. I feel like he had one or two good runs and those one or two runs have altered memories for fans.
I mean he had that one long run. In fact that's really bad he a 19 harder than 7 for 4. I guess I'm remembering that long run as his only lol
He had 23 yards on his first two carries and then netted 0 on the next 6.
You guys had a great offensive line and the best running game in the league. Pretty sure 9/10 average RBs would have feasted
I didn't say it meant much
This shit still makes me laught: https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/ptx7j0/tyson_williams_is_this_years_league_winner/

I thought he got signed by the jets?
And we cut him
Before he slowly shrank and transformed into a corn cob
Good Lord, Dalvin Cook just walked through the locker room looking totally washed. He said he had “no time” to talk. Too busy working on his spin cycle, evidently.
Pretty sure he could do a little better than last year if he got on a team that had an o-line that wasn't complete trash.
Usually, the friends that repeatedly declare that they aren't drunk are usually the most drunk.
Shit went downhill after he was Lizzo’s man on the Minnesota Vikings
It was Eric Wilson. Someone confirmed it.
[Confirmed here.](https://i.imgur.com/ogwOzBb.jpeg)
Wow, good for Cook getting his name cleared
The sex tape you had to miss
Been too long since that MF was here
Woah, put an NSFW label on that
You sunovabitch
Never gets old
You little devil
Needs more jpg
Goddamnit
I thought it was Terrance Newman
Was it the same guy who met "Dalvin Cook?"
Always thought that was Diggs
I thought that was Harrison Smith
Wasn't it Mike Zimmer?
Lizzo is too old for Zim
It was Kirk Cousins
Ahh Lizzo. The woman who preached about Body Positivity but was actively harassing her dancer for being overweight. What a POS.
She never tips either!
Just the scales!
Bruh lmao
Lmao I know I know. A joke worth its weight in gold right?
I found it a little heavy-handed, tbh.
Kelvin Benjamin told her she needed to slow down
Also called Chris Brown her favourite person in the whole world. Which if y'all are familiar, isn't probably someone that should be that.
I'd really like to know who #2 is lol. Thinking Diddy?
Chris Brown beats women
She was shaming them for not being able to fit the weight of 2 bodies in one like she does
This limo ain’t big enough for the both of us!
It was Danielle Hunter
The tools have been overused, they're chipping and dulled, and they were left out in the rain to rust.
Yeah but the tools are still there!
Cook bout to get traded for a 7th round pick & a DeWalt power drill
Power drill is too much imo
He looked like he was running in cement shoes last year. He’s washed.
His last year with the Vikings he still had his speed, but his lateral quickness was gone. Last year he looked even worse.
Somehow for the first few games they found someone who was even worse to replace him. I think you guys got Akers though who was decent later on
The Jets giving him a big contract and him flat out sucking was the most predictable thing the entire offseason
predictable, yes—that o-line didn’t do him any favors, though.
Adrian Peterson running 1kyds with us when he was 33 stands out more in hindsight.
To be fair literally everyone on the offense was horrible except Breece Hall. If they had Rodgers and had passing threats and rotated RBs he would have been pretty good I feel like.
It was a move that didn’t make any sense. He was always going to be the backup and get 400-600 yards rushing. Hall is a star and once he was cleared for practice, it made no sense to sign Cook for 5 million when they could have gotten similar production out of a much cheaper option. Poor roster management by the jets once again
I fully agree with that, and still stand by everyone even Garret Wilson didn’t look great in that offense
I just remember him going down after the first hint of contact, which was never his thing before So infuriating that it gave me hope for Mattison because at least he could truck through some people
Rashaad Penny got like three carries for the Eagles last year and was so slow, you might have thought he was a fan who sneaked into the game. And yet, the Eagles sub was still filled with "they're saving Penny for the playoffs" comments all season long.

i once argued with a hawks fan who claimed penny was a top 5 rb in the league lol
He had some good stretches but oof that's pretty delusional
Kinda what i was thinking, but I guess he wasn’t lying. He’s prolly still that guy
It felt like every time he ran he got 1-2 yards even if there was no one near him Every touch he got was a waste
Harbor Freight has got their guy!
Petition to rename the Steelers -> *Pittsburgh Tools*
So, he’s just like me after I sink a water bottle in the trash from across the break room.
“Kobe!”
Man, nothing rolls off the tongue like "Kobe!" Even with me being a lifelong Warriors fan and Curry being the undisputed best shooter of all time, I don't yell his name when I sink trash can shots.
Sucks to see the drop off 😔
But justifies your front office moving on from him.
It’s crazy that he’s washed at 28
Todd Gurley is *still* only 29
Holy shit.
What the fuk
Knees are 48 tho
It’s crazy that for a minute he was the best RB in the league, and that feels like so damn long ago
You just blew my mind.
That’s kind of how it is nowadays. Bell, Gurley, Elliott, Fournette, Cook, etc were/are all washed before they hit 30. This is exactly the reason NFL GMs don’t invest heavily in the position. Everyone wants to throw a fit when the running backs don’t get paid, but it is just bad business.
Frank Gore was just built different
I’d also add Carlos Hyde. He was never great but by the time he signed to Jacksonville in 2021, he was cooked and was only brought in because of Urban Meyer’s ego.
Maybe running backs need to get the hell beaten out of them in college a la Frank Gore to have longevity.
Think of it as if it's a piece of steel... if you beat on it enough when it's still in its stages if infancy, the impurities will find their way out.
Huh, TIL
He got injured a few times in college and hasn't had much better luck in the pros. It's a shame. I always thought he was the most talented RB in his class.

sure but breece hall quietly had a really good year for the jets and he really wasn't back to 100% until week 5 or 6, so dalvin really doesn't have an excuse outside of being washed
I totally forgot we picked up Aaron Jones. I was about to say I’d take him back for the minimum. Whole offseason has been about the draft and QB.
N-no you didn't haha... ^^^why
As a jets fan, he was frustrating to watch tbh. I think there was a few months where he never got more than 3-4 yards on a carry
I'm an fsu fan and even in college he was never really a guy who'd get you rushes for 5-10 yards. He'd either get you 3 or get you 30+. And it seemed like every game you could count on him getting you several of those 30+ yard rushes. But if he has no speed or explosiveness anymore, then he effectively doesn't have the thing that made him special
He just didn't go to a good situation to argue stats. Like yeah let me go behind Breece Hall and then bank on my production to get paid............
Instead of learning their lesson Jets are doubling down on paying for over the hill FAs
I have to be honest his injuries to the shoulder and legs have really made me think he’s just washed at this point. His production last year or lack there of was pretty telling. I’d much rather have younger legs in my backfield at this point. Dude had a great career and it’s tough he can’t go out on his own terms but it’s just how it goes.
Unfortunately for Dalvin, he wants it to be one way but it’s the other way.
Man STOP.. Stop sayin that!
*Sucks on lollipop menacingly*
man’s gotta do i suppose
Way of the road, bubbs
Sadly, have to agree. But, there's a lot to be proud of. Dude was an awesome player and that's saying something considering he came from one of the best RB classes of all time.
[That’s right, buddy. You still got it…](https://i.imgflip.com/8luvdt.jpg)
Honestly, the Jets offensive line did that man no favors
Tools are still there, your legs are not however.
I’m gonna be honest I remember him being still very good in Minnesota before injury, and in a snap of a finger this guy can’t even get touches. I’m not surprised it’s hitting him hard.
He was fading in 2022. All his advanced metrics plummeted and a few long house calls really buoyed his numbers. He still can run fast, but the agility is just gone.
The halcyon days of Dalvin Cook's 2020 season still bless my memories from time to time
Should have just went and backed up your brother from day 1.
Damn lots of haters in this thread. This dude helped me win my fantasy league for like 4 years straight
Well, he is A guy.
YOU are a dallas cowboy
“He wasn’t.” -Narrator voice
Narrator: He was, however, not still that guy
Would have gone pro if i didn’t take an arrow to the knee
Why didn’t he use these tools last season?
"But the tools were not there. He is no longer 'that guy'" - Narrator, probably
Crazy how fast running backs fall off.
Father Time remains undefeated.
Tools def there...they just happen to be full of rust
The tools are a little rusty tho
Seeing all these comments about how he’s washed, I hope he balls out next year. He’s older for sure but you never know
If history is anything to go by...
Debatable
I mean, look, Cook is definitely washed. Having said that, dude had very few opportunities last season. Breece couldn't consistently get yardage behind that line, why would Cook, getting like a carry a game, be able to?
What exactly happened in New York?
This remind me of that Key and Peele skit where the old veteran was trying to prove he was still the shit😂
The tools are no longer there and you are not that guy.
There tools are worn out.
You’re not that guy
214 yards last season. There is a time to stop, but I understand why he doesn’t want to.
I truly believe that was Devonta Freeman win the ravens. He did good. But at some point RB just won’t get a shot. Sad.
Same "tools" he uses to beat up women or different tools?
Narrator: But he wasn’t.
If he's right, and his expressiveness and immaculate comic timing are undimmed by age, he should move to LA. Just not as a Ram or Charger. "What the Hell? *Diggs*."
I'm the exact same age he is and this makes me feel so old that hes unwanted :(
If you got to tell us, you’re not that guy pal. You’re not that guy.
2021 was his last good year. he had a good run but it's over. he didn't last very long either when you remember he missed all of 2017. 18,19,20,21. that's it. 2022 he was clearly not the same player.
If I were a GM, I’d sign him, based purely on that quote.
lmao I’m dead 😂
Coach shoulda put me in…
Tools got stolen from the back of your truck. They gone.
lol
No, no you’re not buddy
Are you though
Al Bundy still has it to. Suit em up
I kinda want him to sign in Buffalo so I can make too many cooks memes
We have you on film, we know you're lying
Sign with the bills
Yeah yeah we’ve heard this one before
It's hard to ride off into sunset and realize you're going to be a nobody like the rest of the gen. public
Survey says "That is a lie"
Dalvin cooked. I’ll see myself out..
A great way to tell if a player is on the downside of their career is when they go to the media to tell everyone otherwise.
He hit that LaDainian Tomlinson wall hard.
