Bills GM Beane Has No Timeline on Contract Standoff with Cook After RB Skips 2nd Day of Practice
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, AUG 3 – James Cook missed a Bills training camp practice due to stalled contract talks, seeking $15 million annually while the team declined that offer, sources said.
- On Sunday, Buffalo Bills running back James Cook arrived at St. John Fisher University but did not participate in practice, telling reporters `Business`.
- Seeking a lucrative extension, Cook sought $15 million per year, but the Bills did not meet that figure and no agreement was signed.
- Last season, Cook scored 18 touchdowns, rushed for 1,009 yards on 207 carries, and played on just over 45% of offensive snaps.
- The Bills declined to comment when asked about Cook’s absence, and because he reported to camp, he can sit out practices without fines.
- As Cook’s rookie deal ends, GM Brandon Beane said the sides remain in contact but do not expect a deal soon, framing it as the key 2025 decision.
