Dalvin Cook’s agent fuels speculation of potential Jets deal: ‘To me, it looks like a great situation’

The New York Jets have been linked to four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook for several weeks but the reality of potentially signing the former Minnesota Vikings star is starting to seem like a very real possibility.

Cook’s agent, Zac Hiller, didn’t mince words when asked during an interview with Heavy about reports linking him to the Jets.

"I think the Jets have a great thing going," Hiller said in the interview published Saturday.

"They’re all in. They want to win a Super Bowl. I think they want to bring a Super Bowl to New York City. They brought in an incredible, first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback. Those [types of players] aren’t just out there like that."

He continued, "That guy is a complete franchise city-changing player and that’s somebody that you absolutely want to play with at some point in your career, one hundred percent."

Cook was released in June after six productive seasons in Minnesota, where he reached third on the franchise all-time rushing list with 5,993 yards. He’s fifth in rushing attempts (1,282) and fourth in rushing touchdowns (47).

He was previously linked to another AFC East team, the Miami Dolphins, but according to recent reports, Cook turned down the offer. 

"To get the opportunity to play with somebody of that caliber, you know you can go to the Super Bowl and that’s all it's about. It’s winning Super Bowls, right?" Hiller said of Aaron Rodgers. "You play football your whole life for the opportunity to get to the highest level, and that’s winning a Super Bowl. So, as far as the New York Jets, I believe they’re right there, I really do." 

"To me, it looks like a great situation," he added. "I think the Jets have something great going on."

Chicago residents outraged over molestation in public beach bathroom: 'Worse than jail washrooms'

Chicago residents are stunned that there were no security cameras in the public beach area where a suspect molested a 4-year-old child on Tuesday.

The assault took place at Rainbow Beach at around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening. The suspect fled the premises after sexually assaulting the child, and is believed to be a Hispanic man between the ages of 35 and 45.

Activists gathered on Sunday afternoon to distribute sketches of the man, according to FOX 32 Chicago. 

Community leaders also took aim at Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for not having security cameras in the area, arguing that the city is neglecting Chicago's South Side. Executive Director of Violence Interrupters Tio Hardiman warned parents to avoid letting their children use public bathrooms.

"I want to send a message out to the parents of Chicago, never allow your child to go to a public bathroom in the city of Chicago," Hardiman said, according to FOX 32. "It’s something out of a horror movie… You never know what’s lurking inside these bathrooms."

CEO of Chicago Against Violence Andre Smith questioned why the washroom area lacked security cameras. He is also hoping that the bathrooms will be renovated, arguing that they are "worse than jail institution washrooms."

"Chicago is camera city," Smith said. "How can we not have cameras at this beach to protect our most precious, our pride and joy, who are supposed to be out here enjoying themselves?"

"If there were cameras here, we’d at least have a photograph or some video of the alleged individual coming out of the bathroom here," Hardiman added.

Smith believes that the sketch of the suspect looked similar to another suspect who assaulted an 11-year-old girl walking home from school in November.

"Somebody probably saw this guy, somebody knows this guy, he’s a family member of someone in Chicago," Hardiman said. "Someone needs to step up and do the right thing."

"Parents, citywide, watch your children," he added. "To be aware is to be alive… You can’t take anything for granted."

Fox News Digital reached out to the Chicago Park District for a statement, but has not yet heard back.
