Tyler Conklin believes there's "plenty of room" for Dalvin Cook in the New York Jets' backfield if his former teammate is interested in signing to play with the team.

Cook was released by the Minnesota Vikings earlier this month.

Robert Saleh didn't dismiss the idea of the Jets' interest in Cook earlier this month when he said the team would "turn the stones over on that one," while ultimately saying the decision would be Joe Douglas to make.

"There's plenty of room. We've got room for whoever wants to come help us win a Super Bowl," Conklin said. "Me and Dalvin were basically locker mates my first couple years, and he was an awesome guy. I reached out to him because I was just curious, like are the rumors true? Is this actually possible?

"That'd be a special backfield with Breece [Hall] and Dalvin and the rookie (Israel Abanikanda) and whatnot, Mike Carter. I don't know. That's a lot of running backs, but I think that'd be special, especially in this outside zone scheme."
