Skip Bayless Reveals Fear Over Cowboys Signing Dalvin Cook

Skip Bayless isn't excited about the Dallas Cowboys' interest in signing former Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook.

In fact, Bayless — a vocal Cowboys supporter — fears that bringing in Cook will force him to make a tough decision.

"My fear if the Cowboys sign Dalvin Cook, even to just the practice squad, is that I'll soon be forced to decide who looks more washed up, Dalvin or Zeke," Bayless said in a tweet on Tuesday.

Luckily for Bayless, Cook left Dallas without a deal after the workout. The Cowboys were only willing to offer him a practice squad spot, and, per Clarence Hill Jr. of All City Dallas, he has another audition with the Colts on his schedule.

Bayless was not a fan of the Cowboys reuniting with Elliott this offseason. Elliott, a two-time rushing champ, is coming off a rough season with the Patriots. He registered career lows in carries (184), rushing yards (642), rushing touchdowns (3), yards per carry (3.5), yards from scrimmage (955), and total touchdowns (5).

"I used to love Zeke in those first three years [of his career]," Bayless said on his podcast in May. "But right now, Ezekiel Elliott is more washed than dishes on Thanksgiving night."

The Cowboys made significant moves in their running back room on Tuesday, cutting Malik Davis, Royce Freeman, Nathaniel Peat, and Snoop Connor. As a result, the depth chart now features Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn, and Hunter Luepke.

The Cowboys open the season on September 8 against the Cleveland Browns.
