Fresh off signing 2023 first-team All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to a four-year, $136 million extension with $100 million guaranteed, Jones has since made another big move, as the team is set to sign four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook. Cook worked out for Dallas on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, Jones confirmed that Cook will initially join the practice squad.
“Well, Dalvin is someone we all have an appreciation for his career,” Jones said Wednesday. “He gives us a chance to get in here and run the system. He’s initially on the practice squad, gives him a chance to get in here and learn the system. We had hoped that as time went along in this offseason, we would have an opportunity to maybe look at a player of his stature if the right circumstances came along. They came along. We’re appreciative of it. We had a workout for him. He’s in good shape. He’ll get a lot more work. He will learn the system as he goes,. and he could really help us out this year.”
