The Buffalo Bills have secured a new contract with running back James Cook, providing both parties with a sense of stability ahead of the Super Bowl window. The deal sees Cook receive $30 million in guaranteed money, although this figure is lower than initially reported.
Despite initial claims that Cook’s contract was the largest for a running back in five years, it appears to be less lucrative than Saquon Barkley’s recent agreement. However, the specifics of Cook’s deal will be revealed in due course.
Cook will now be under contract with the Bills for four years, bringing an end to the drama surrounding his future. The running back market seems to be experiencing a downturn, but both Cook and the team must focus on moving forward and avoiding overextension until he is fully reacclimated after his recent absence from practice.
