There's no doubt that Cook, a 6-5, 246-pounder who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds, is the type of weapon that commands the attention of defenses. But he's yet to emerge as a consistent weapon despite flashing his potential. The former third-round pick had his breakout season in 2011, catching 49 catches for 759 yards and three touchdowns. Cook's numbers fell off to 44 receptions for 523 yards in 2012, but he did score four touchdowns during his 485 snaps. ...

Blocking has also been an issue during his NFL career, but the Dolphins haven't ruled out re-signing Anthony Fasano, who is considered one of the NFL's better blockers. Other options at the position include the Giants Martellus Bennett, the Jets' Dustin Keller, Oakland's Brandon Myers and San Francisco's Delanie Walker. ... Stay tuned.
