Free agent running back Dalvin Cook dispelled reports he was near a deal with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday, saying he declined a visit with the team.
Cook responded to reports he was offered a deal with the Dolphins via Twitter.
“I declined a visit so you know my guy,” Cook wrote in response to Pat McAfee hinting at the connection.

Cook said last week he would be a “perfect fit” in Miami after being released by the Minnesota Vikings on June 9. The four-time Pro Bowl selection reportedly has multiple offers from interested teams.
Miami’s AFC East rivals, the New York Jets and New England Patriots, are among the teams reportedly interested in landing Cook.
Cook had shoulder surgery on Feb. 14, the latest in a series of major shoulder issues that include a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum.
He was scheduled to earn $11 million in 2023 with the Vikings. Cook rushed for 5,024 yards and scored 43 touchdowns the past four seasons.
The 27-year-old is a Miami native and played at Florida State.
