Ravens may not be the final NFL team for Dalvin Cook

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Dallas Cowboys flew Dalvin Cook in for a free agent visit on Monday.

In the words of rapper Lil B, “Let him cook!” Or maybe, in this case, it’s “let him cook?” When the Baltimore Ravens signed Dalvin Cook to the practice squad this January, it looked like it was the Last Chance Saloon for the four-time Pro Bowler.

After all, his 2023 season saw him average just 3.2 yards per carry, more than a full yard below his previous career low for that category. Plus, he went unclaimed on waivers before the Ravens nabbed him.

However, Cook was moved up to the active roster, and he had a nice 19-yard run in the Ravens’ 34-10 Divisional Round win over the Houston Texans.

However, no team, including the Ravens, was interested in Florida State’s all-time leading rusher for 2024—until now.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the Dallas Cowboys flew Cook in for a free-agent visit on Monday.

Cook, 29, is just a few weeks younger than Ezekiel Elliott, who returned to the Cowboys this spring after one abysmal season with the New England Patriots. Like Cook, Elliott has seen his statistical production steadily drop in recent years.

While neither man is “old” by any means, they are “aging poorly” by NFL running back standards. This has led to some funny social media postings in response to the potential pairing of Cook and Elliott.

This posting by @BEEHIGHB, featuring Emmitt Smith as a Cardinal and Jerry Rice as a Seahawk, is pretty funny:

Ditto for this tweet by @SteelersRuinMe referencing that famous Super Bowl ad with all the long-retired legends.

Cowboys to host former Ravens linebacker Tyus Bowser on a visit

Cowboys to host former Ravens linebacker Tyus Bowser on a visit

The Baltimore Ravens will visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3 at AT&T Stadium, and a familiar face could be rushing the passer for the opposition.

ESPN’s Todd Archer reports that the Dallas Cowboys will be hosting two former Ravens, Dalvin Cook and Tyus Bowser.

The Ravens released Bowser back in March, freeing up $5.5 million in salary cap space.

Bowser has been up and down since being drafted by the Ravens in the 2nd round back in 2017.

During his first four seasons, he never started more than two games. Then, in 2021, he started all 17 games and set career-highs in sacks (7), solo tackles (33), and QB hits (15). After signing a four-year, $22 million extension, Bowser has played nine games since.

A torn Achilles in ’21 and offseason knee surgery following the 2022 season caused Bowser to miss every game this past season.

Mystery of OLB Tyus Bowser could mean he wont return to Ravens in 2024

The mystery of outside linebacker Tyus Bowser could mean he won’t return to the Ravens in 2024

The Baltimore Ravens drafted outside linebacker Tyus Bowser in the second round of the 2017 NFL draft.

He turned himself into a precious and versatile player, but injuries have taken their toll on him in recent seasons.

“Unfortunate for Tyus [Bowser], he couldn’t play this year. [I] can’t really get into all the different specifics of that, as you guys know, how we handle the injuries. I think Tyus has probably talked about it in some way. He had an injury unfortunately and wasn’t able to play. We’ll have to continue to assess that in the coming weeks to see where he stands with that injury. [He’s] a great man [and] a good player for us. [It’s] just a tough deal for him this year, and we’ll have to deal with it.”

Bowser tore his Achilles at the end of the 2021 season and has recently had a mysterious knee injury that has gotten little clarity from both Bowser and the team. Baltimore would save $5.5 million by cutting Bowser, and head coach John Harbaugh said the team would continue to assess the injury.
