Free agent working again Dalvin Prepare dinner continues to be on the open market as we enter the month of August. When he was launched in June by the Minnesota Vikings, rumors have been floating all around the web about the place he might find yourself, and nonetheless, nothing has come to fruition. Now it’s been reported that he’s set to satisfy with the New York Jets, a spot many thought he may land since they’ve gone all in on making a Tremendous Bowl run over the following couple of years.
In an ideal world, a participant coming off 4 consecutive Professional Bowl alternatives, and a minimum of 1,135 yards in every of these seasons would’ve been scooped up by some determined group needing RB assist instantly. Sadly, that’s not how at present’s NFL works, particularly for these within the offensive backfield not enjoying quarterback.
Prepare dinner met with the Miami Dolphins, and it just lately got here out that no matter they provided wasn’t almost sufficient for him to signal with the group. Including Prepare dinner to what’s already considered because the quickest offense within the league in some individuals’s eyes would’ve been devastating to the AFC East. That’s to not say they couldn’t double again and take a look at once more if the Jets don’t make it occur, however for now, Miami appears to be off the desk.
For the reason that Jets are going for the gusto, it solely appears becoming that they’d try to herald one other massive identify like Prepare dinner, who appears to be like to nonetheless have a number of extra massive years left in him. That’s one cause former Dallas Cowboys All-Professional again Ezekiel Elliott continues to be a free agent. Some suppose he’s utterly washed. Elliott is a three-time Professional Bowler however hasn’t made it since 2019. His final couple of years in Dallas have been lackluster at greatest in comparison with his first three to 4 years within the NFL. The 2 RBs are solely weeks aside in age, however one could possibly be signed quickly, whereas the opposite might proceed to take a seat as we get nearer to the beginning of the common season.
Ought to all go nicely with the Jets and Prepare dinner, it shouldn’t be lengthy earlier than we discover out if he’ll be sporting that inexperienced jersey, and lining up behind a future Corridor of Fame QB this season. New York must get this completed and spherical out their “tremendous group” to offer themselves one of the best odds of creating a legit run this yr. They’re in one of many hardest divisions within the league and must replenish as a lot expertise as doable. Even when it is a transfer to maintain him away from one other group within the division, just like the Dolphins. Get it completed, and get it completed now.
