Everyone eats, but the Cook FEASTS

Ill say it again.. IF he holds out into the season, trade him. We are not going to change our position on money and neither is he at that point. And do you want a 5th or just let him walk for nothing? That is what I am tired of from Beane. When the season gets here and we kick off against the Ravens, we will know what the situation really is.

If that deal was on the table, I suspect Beane would finalize it instantly and Jerry Jones family might have him institutionalized.

That depends on if the passing game is efficient. There were a few games last year where the run game is what got out offense going, specifically with Cook getting some explosive runs that I don't expect Davis or Johnson to get. Oh well, this is a 2026 problem. Everything that happens between now and week 1 is just posturing from both sides. I hate to think what the Bills offense would look like without Cook in 2025. I would be very concerned about our ability to produce explosive offense and easy button TDs. As for 2026, we'll hopefully be able to make up for his inevitable exit in FA by investing resources into the passing game.

Trade him? Why? He's on the last year (of an admittedly undervalued) contract, what are you gonna get for him? A 5th at most. Possibly no more than a pick swap. Play him this year (it's in HIS best interest to do well to showcase his talents for a new contract), let him walk in free agency. If he really does sign a ~$15m/yr contract, heck, even a $10m/yr would prolly suffice, if we're net loss WRT FAs, we'd get a 3rd or 4th round comp pick. Don't think trading him is prudent.

Davis, Johnson, Kincaid, Coleman, Shakir, Knox, and Samuel combined for 18 TDs for Buffalo. Cook had 18.

I didn't see Montana play, nope. I didn't see Unitas play either, or Otto Graham... But Brady took it to the point where it was beyond debate and you don't need to have watched all those other guys. I didn't see Pele play either, but I don't need to. Messi is the GOAT.

In other news, water is in fact wet

Pelosi makes it hard to forget.

Agreed. Look, as a Bills fan I'd love for every player to agree to play here for vet minimum. But that isnt happening, nor is it fair to the guys who actually make the league what it is. Who put their bodies and long term health on the line. Who have been training and working at this for decades. And who typically have less than 6-8 years to cash in. If the NFLPA had a spine, it would be more like a 65/35 revenue split in favor of the players.

Both HBO MAX and PEACOCK are available to stream if you have certain tiers on Spectrum cable.

To me the worst possible position a franchise can be in is having a Dak or a Tua, where they're good enough to likely demand franchise money but they aren't in the Top 5 or so guys that can really change the outcome. Such a difficult sport for a team and so hard to handle it correctly. We saw Dak and Tua get the bag. Baker didn't, then Baker ends up doing what he did. To say we lucked out would be an understatement.

Sirius and others said he was having an amazing camp.

It happened at the closed practice today. Baylon Specter injured No word yet on severity.

I have said it before, but I firmly believe each and every player should do everything in their power to maximize their earnings while in the league. Get what you can young man, I support you.

I would run through a wall for this guy.

You are arguing context but there was no context in the original statement - simply that four Super Bowl wins and zero losses is better than four Super Bowls wins and 2 losses. I agree winning in the finals does raise ones status exponentially however in this case the two have the same number of Super Bowls wins at the age you are comparing. I don't think losing in a couple of Super Bowls subtracts from the wins but rather adds (a little bit) to it.

I do think it’s possible the Bills extend him for 3 years/$30 million, or something like that. Cook would be wise to take that deal.

The season is over a month away. They are just being cautious with everyone for every nick they get. If this were week 2 of the preseason, and they is still two weeks out from the season opener, I might have a different take but we’re not there yet

RIP

The Bills are in a prime position as it pertains to Cook. First Running backs have a short shelf life as we all know. Cook still on his rookie deal can’t afford to take fine at all whether that’s not reporting for camp or missing games etc. Sure he could fake an injury to protect himself but that won’t help him get top end RB money from the Bills or anyone else with a guy with one really good season. He needs to play and ball out to get the money he desires which will help the Bills make hopefully another deep run. The Bills also have the luxury after this year of franchising him and keeping Cook(very unhappily im sure) and making him play again on a 1 year deal, trading him , or buying time to get a long term deal done. Running back is also one of the cheapest tags amongst position groups. Cook is going to play this year and he’ll play his hardest to get what he desires. He’s sitting out practices , while reported , to avoid being fined and to show his unhappiness with the little leverage he has this year. Beane, McDermott, and Cook deep down knows

If the Bills trade Cook, there is no way their running back room is not downgraded as a result. The best Buffalo could hope for is an average RB and a draft pick. I actually saw a hypothetical trade with the Cowboys where Buffalo gets Micah Parsons and Dallas gets Cook, a 2026 first round pick, a 2026 2nd and a 2027 4th. The two players are the same age, but that's a lot of draft capital to be giving up, even though Parsons is an elite game wrecker.

He doesn't get paid and for every game missed it would be about $310k we save in salary cap space.
