James Cook is lone Bills player skipping OTAs in latest contract twist
NY Post
Money talks, and so does not showing up for work — even if you aren’t required to be there.
James Cook is the only Bills player not at the team’s voluntary offseason team activities (OTAs) beginning Tuesday amid contract drama, head coach Sean McDermott told reporters.
Cook previously said he’s looking for $15 million per season.
While these OTA are voluntary, Cook is seemingly sending a message — and trying to avoid injury — by staying away while he hopes to be rewarded like fellow backs such Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey.
Cook, 25, is entering the last year of the four-year contract he signed after being selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
He is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the season.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
