I wouldn't but I understand why some would. I believe the last first round RB who led their team in rushing yards to win a Super Bowl with their original team was Adaii in the '06 season. I know correlation doesn't equal causation but you just lose the value of having a guy on a rookie contract at a premium position if you draft a RB in the first round.

anytime hometown Joey B wants to take less than 55M a year he can.

Cook is very good, but not elite. He barely cracked 1K yards in a loaded Bills offense so I doubt he would produce more than that somewhere else. In my heart I want Cook, but in my mind I know it’s a bad idea. He’s an excellent speed back, but he can’t block and he can’t catch the ball. There’s a big difference between Cook and Barkley and Henry. If there’s a Bijan Robinson or Najee Harris type of back available next year at the bottom of RD1 though I wouldn’t be against it..

This might be…..no, this is the best picture captured of AOC I’ve seen. Wonder if it’s intentional innuendo? 😏

Mike Brown is not cheap. He's poor for an NFL owner. His only valuable asset is the small-market team.

his original rookie contract was 4 yrs $6m… Because he a pro bowler he gets a proven performance escalator payable in the final year of his deal https://atozsports.com/nfl/buffalo-bills-news/bills-players-that-made-pro-bowl/

Good information. Thanks. The Bengals have more of a cash issue that creates the cap issue. Restructuring contracts to push the cap hit down the road means be more willing to have cash in hand to pay now. Mike Brown is cheap and this idea that Joe Burrow has changed the way the Bengals do business is a myth.

None at all in any game since 1990? Man, that’s pretty bad.

Just wow. Absolutely pathetic This should mean war

I wouldn't be disappointed to see three guys watching Game 4 from the press box (Kane, Walman and whichever Panther drew the Charging call); that was embarrassing. It might not matter though; Bobo found the zone in the first OT of Game 2 and I'm not sure Edmonton can put enough behind him to win this series.

Since 1990 I've been waiting for our defense to have that one spectacular play / moment. It’s yet to happen.

Not much to say about this game.....I guess the phrase "crap-tacular" comes to mind. Edmonton has to stay out of the penalty box....they seemed to be trying to play Florida's game, and that's not what got them this far. That 3rd period was a joke.....I'm sure that is not they kind of Hockey the NHL wants to be showcased to a National audience.

Fascinating that Cook's 2025 $5.3M salary (+$75k workout bonus) accounts for ~92% of his 4 year rookie contract's overall reported $5.8M value... He's on track to have earned just shy of $10M when he becomes eligible for FA in 2026. Why is his deal reported the way it is (on Spotrac)? ONLY guaranteed $ being accounted for in published valuation? Even in recent news, his 4-yr deal is reported to be under $6M. What the heck?

Lol, it’s not the same thing. The Bengals are spending over 1/3 of their cap on three players. 2024 Eagles Jalen Hurts: $13.6M cap hit (16th among QBs) A.J. Brown: $12M (13th among WRs) DeVonta Smith: $8.2M (23rd among WRs) Total cap hit: $33.8M Percentage of $255.4M cap: 13.2% 2025 Bengals Joe Burrow: $46M cap hit (3rd among QBs) Tee Higgins: $24M (6th among WRs) Ja'Marr Chase: $23.5M (7th among WRs) Total cap hit: $93.5M Percentage of $279.2M cap: 33.5% If they decide to give Hendrickson a cap hit around $30M (reportedly what he’s asking for based on the EDGE market), they’re going to be allocating 45% of their cap to four players that were already on their 9-8 team that missed the playoffs last season…

Lets see what happens? Doubtful Spector survives the final cut and there's about a 90% chance this is Milano's last season.

Billsy/ Hoeleader rubs one out while s-posting at about this time every night and then goes to bed.

So with the Marines added is the this strongest domestic response by a president in modern history? I’m sure it has nothing to do with politics 😂

Yeah every so often GM's have to re-learn not to pay RB's. I don't think Beane is an exception. If anything he's worse than most with cap management and that's why the Bills were in cap stress early in Allen's rookie deal and are among the biggest users of void years in the league now etc.. The Niners are getting burned for giving McCaffrey the deal. Saquon is due to blow another ACL so I doubt that deal comes anywhere close to ending well after all those miles he accumulated last year. Henry is the one aberration because he's an Adrian Peterson level of beast but the next 7-8 or so guys on the highest paid RB list looks like a whole lot of regret. RB's aren't suddenly going to stop getting hurt and flaming out young.

This was a pretty good catch:

This is something that happened from immigration from a COMMUNIST Country that hates the US ,they come here on a student visa and lie the entire time while taking advantage of American freedoms, then American business people take their companies there because the bottom line is more important than American morals ! And it would be profiling if those that come here from this COMMUNIST country as students, professors, or other professionals were put under some kind of observation, that would be as bad as making those that break the law responsible for their actions according to some here ... Same as it was when every body looked at people from the Middle East after 9-11 . The US gov't allows China to continue to buy up property's here and businesses and allow American companies to move over there to strengthen their Communist economy and in turn weaken our economy and jobs and Americans are oblivious to exactly what is happening due in part to American entitlement that has caused American laziness . You would think after the covid cover up that America would smarten up but to be tough against these kind of things would be against their rights even though they are not American citizens which are the only people due the rights of American citizens ... Unless of course they come here legally and follow the path of becoming a citizen of the US !! But all those coming from china to the US need to be watched before it's to late & they release another kind of pandemic weather it be on our crops or other wise & the likes of Bass & Newsome need to eat a booger !! They are more the problem than the laws put in place ...

Very true. The Bills hold all the cards here. (I like your point B) I am sure they would like to sign him to a reasonable extension. But if Cook wants huge RB money he will have to wait until his contract is up. Its not like he had an all time season. He had some nice numbers (including an inflated amount of TD's scored from inside the 5 yard line.) He is scheduled to make 5 + mill this year. Not chump change for a guy that plays only about half the teams offensive snaps. The offseason is so long, there is just not much to talk about. Especially for a team that has been real good for a long time now. So the Cook talk gets extra play. And the ironic thing is that Cook seems like a real quiet guy. Are there any other noteworthy stories right now in the NFL? I guess Aaron Rodgers to the Steelers. LOL
