James Cook lands $48 million Bills deal to end awkward contract standoff
NY Post
The awkwardness can come to an end at Bills camp.
Buffalo and star running back James Cook agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal with $30 million guaranteed, NFL Network reported Wednesday morning.
It puts an end to a strange hold-in situation for the 25-year-old as he pushed to be paid like one of the league’s top backs.
“James could only envision himself as a Buffalo Bill,” said agent Zac Hiller of LAA, according to Adam Schefter. “We are extremely thankful to the entire Bills organization and glad we could make that happen.”
Cook practiced with the team at the start of camp but then stopped on Aug. 3, citing “business” reasons.
Bills coach Sean McDermott said last week he expected Cook to return to practice — except he didn’t.
