Williams is a year younger and more of a work horse back. Cook is faster, a better pass catcher, but not a much of an every down back. The contract should end of being about the same. https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nfl/kyren-williams-33-million-rams-extension-could-impact-bills-rb-james-cook-2109250

Kyren will be 25 later this month. Cook turns 26 in September. For what it’s worth.

Sigh. You said he posted yesterday. See? The “I’m sure you knew that” was a nice touch. Now “yesterday” means July 30. As an aside, if you want to believe the posting of that article is evidence of someone supporting Russia, that’s good for you. Vapid to be sure, but good for you regardless. I hope you pay at least the bare minimum of attention to detail as an urban planner. You suck at it, bigly, on message boards.

As a fellow business man I'd like to hear Mr. Cook's philosophical stance on how to calculate the depreciation of tangible assets

Haven’t read this thread yet, but I’m betting my house this has turned into a James cook thread 😂

i wouldn't be so sure tbh it's significantly easier to pick your line in RPO

He's been "adamant"? He made one comment on someone else's post that just said "15 mill year". For the second part, it's pretty easy. 4yr/$60M, $40M guaranteed. Add on a void year (Saquon's contract has 4 void years, lol), and the team is down to $12M/yr and only $8M/yr guaranteed. Factor it as an extension to his remaining 1/$5M, and youre at a cap structure of 6yr/$65M or less than $11M/yr. Cook and his agent get to post $15M avg of new money.

He played for the Panthers and then the Rams. He didn't sign with Tampa until 2023.

i think 11/5-12 is the sweet spot tbh and even thats kind of steep imo but whatever

very superstitious Alone in my basement in front of my 75 Likely phone off sipping on bib on Tucker 6 in a bills bourbon glass with two bills blankets on me on my couch I’m too emotional to watch games with people. I can’t imagine what a train wreck I’d be watching them in a Super Bowl in fact, I’m pretty sure they lost the afc championship game this year because I watched it at my dads house in pittsford instead of my basement in Indiana

That hasn't stopped ICE. And many migrants work construction. Why do you think ICE is going after job sites?

I don’t hate the first option you suggest. It would allow the Bills some flexibility to spread out the cap hit some if they decided to cut him say after the 2027 season. Cook has been so adamant about the $15 mil a year, it makes me wonder how can the team get creative to make it look like that for his agent to post. In actuality it is structured more team friendly.

We knew you didn't know how to read an academic paper, but apparently you're having trouble reading a forum too.

There was a fire in my college dorm building that I called 911 for. I called again at my first job when our student pick-up van drove past a structure fire. Around that same time I called 911 because a wrong-way driver whizzed past me on I-476 outside Philadelphia. I called a third time when a girl passed out on the court during a middle school basketball game. My wife called 911 for me when I passed out in our bedroom in the middle of the night. I had food poisoning, was freely flowing from both ends for about 12 hours, and got dehydrated. I got up to get something to drink, tipped my head back to drink from the glass and the darkness closed in. I had enough cognition left to put the glass down on the counter but I woke up on the floor. They sent the two smallest EMTs I have ever seen to my house and I'm a large man (6'3" probably 270 at that time (I'm less now - yay!). I had to scoot down the stairs on my butt because they couldn't lift me and then they almost dropped the gurney over sideways putting me into the truck. I caught myself from falling by grabbing the door frame. Needless to say, I haven't eaten anything from that Amish market since.

My condolences if the Wire stirs memories for you.

Williams is more complete a back than Cook is, but Cook is more explosive. That puts them at near the same value to me. I'm offering somewhere between 11.5 - 12 per on a three year extension with 24 guaranteed. Take it or leave it

that's one way to distract from the Epstein files, I guess. Can you imagine if Biden did this? MTG would have invoked the 25th Amendment already.

Market Value is tricky and always inflated. If 5th round Williams is settling for $11M/yr then his price on the open market, where GMs lose sanity in Free Agency, is probably $13M+. But all it takes is one crazy GM with a lot of cap room and we're off to the races. I agree the Bills offer was probably in the same ballpark, and that is why Cook hasnt accepted it yet. Cook. Need those home runs.

How do we know what offer the Bills made?

Nice that this contract should cut the BS on both sides. If something doesn’t happen quickly someone is very unreasonable on either side.

Cook is a better back than Williams. They may be identical in stats, but Williams took a lot more carries to get there. Not saying, the contracts wont be close but Cook has earned a bit more.

Cant forget what a Sean McVay system and a QB that can barely move does for those numbers too. Cook is the more talented runner. But this contract along with the Jacobs contract last year probably set the tone for where Cook will fall in percentage of cap space if he was to get a new contract this year.

Cook is a very very good RB with obvious limitations. Blocking and the occasional drop being the most egregious. But we need him on this roster. I'm just not willing to pay 15M/yr for a 2 down back. 3/36 and 22 guaranteed is as far as I go.

He’s also in a Shanny system

Extreme ?
