The offseason for the Buffalo Bills has been dominated by running back James Cook and his want for a new contract. Set to want roughly $15 million APY, so far, the Bills don't appear to be all that keen to pay such a hefty price for their running back.

James Cook must prove his value to the Buffalo Bills, says GM Brandon Beane, as the team prepares for the new NFL season.

Bills General Manager Brandon Beane said this week that the team wants to have running back James Cook on the team beyond the 2025 season, but making that happen will require the use of a franchise tag or an agreement on a long-term contract.
