Furthering his backing of Cook, Glenn named Cook the Jets' upcoming starter in Week 17 against the New England Patriots (12-3) at MetLife Stadium. Glenn's full commentary on naming Cook his starter can be found below:

The announcement comes after the Jets were blown out by the New Orleans Saints, 29-6, in Week 16. The game was a disaster for Cook and the Jets offense. The quarterback went 22-of-35 for 188 yards and interception. Cook was also sacked a whopping eight times.
