BREAKING NEWS: Cowboys Star Calls Out Ex-Vikings RB Dalvin Cook for Joining…

ormer Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was given a second chance to win a ring in his first year away from Minnesota after joining the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18 — and Dallas Cowboys Hall of Famer Michael Irvin isn’t happy about it.

Cook, who signed a $6.8 million deal with the New York Jets in the offseason, was unhappy with his role on a deteriorating Jets offense and was released on January 3, leading him to sign with the Ravens the following day.

On a January 5 airing of Fox Sports’s “Undisputed,” Irvin called out Cook for joining Baltimore’s top-ranked rushing attack after Cook has strived the past year to prove he’s still one of the league’s most productive backs since leaving the Vikings

“I think it’s a poor decision on Dalvin Cook’s part,” Irvin said. “Why and how are you going to prove your worth when [Baltimore is] already where they are [as a rushing offense]? How can you tell these other teams that you [make] an impact?”

It’s convenient to bring up Cook’s desire to prove his worth but deny him of every player’s dream of winning a Super Bowl. Irvin made this statement a day after saying the Cowboys needed to sign Cook.

Irvin argued that Cook could have benefited more from signing with Dallas and helping to improve their 14th-ranked running game.

Irvin added that “sometimes things get done, before they get done,” signaling that Cook’s move to Baltimore may have been written before the Cowboys got a chance. That could be true, considering Cook’s agent, Zac Hiller, represents Ravens wide receiver Zay Jones and has a connection to Baltimore’s front office.

But to fault Cook for joining an even better playoff situation is a sign of some bitterness on Irvin’s part.

Irvin ignored the fact the No. 1-seeded Ravens (13-3) have the clearest path to a Super Bowl as favorites in the AFC and are the team to beat with the best record this season.

Either team would be a great fit for Cook as their No. 2 running back. The Ravens rank third in run-block win rate (73%) while Dallas is right behind with a 72% winning rate as the sixth-best run-blocking line in the NFL, per ESPN Analytics.

Irvin could have played it fair and said the Cowboys missed out on a player who could bring some upside in the postseason.

Instead, Irvin’s argument summarized: Dallas didn’t make a mistake, Dalvin did — words of a jealous lover.
