Trump has proposed ending tax on tips and with tariffs he has said paying income taxes would eventually become unnecessary. You would pay more to private companies to consume products but less of it would go to the government, which sounds like a good idea. We have already seen how inept the government is at spending our money. The politicians curiously end up richer than when they took office.

Finally something we can all agree on! Just a bunch of white guys driving their corvettes, mustangs, and lifted diesel trucks. What could possibly go wrong? Sign me up! Gittr done Trumpy

We definitely could do with less women drivers

He told McDermott that wrestling was for sissies, fighting is all about pure strength!

The kiss of death? Best wishes to Slick Rick in the mailroom!

I think if he wanted to be on the team (with the best offense, the MVP, and one of the best OL's in the league) he would let his agent negotiate for a fair salary that works for both sides. He went outside of that process demanding more than what's expected to be his value which leads me to believe he values top dollar over the team he plays for. Someone will likely give him more than the Bills if that's all he cares about. He's a single guy and can easily relocate. Enjoy playing for the Titans! We don't know how it will end up. Maybe he's just trying to get more out of the Bills. But the numbers him and his brother are posting are astronomical. It likely puts him out of our price range for this position. But a more desperate team might be willing to do it just to get something going on offense.

Those players didn't post their demands online because in the end they wanted to be on the team for a fair compensation. He's drawing a line in the sand with those types of public statements. It's a bad look in the least

What's likely to happen is Cook will say he wants 15m per and the Bills will say ok I'm out and then maybe he holds out and then tests the market and gets 11-12m so sure he got some bad team to slightly overpay but that's why they are a bad team. Nobody is choosing them unless they pay over market and everyone knows that. The Bills used to be that team but luckily we aren't anymore (although the Von contract certainly seemed a little desperate).

Lol that's an interesting perspective. He's not alone because he cheated on his wife multiple times and put his work before his family, he's alone because someone snitched on him. I guess that's one way to look at it!

Cooks market rate is $10 mil per according to Spotrac. He's asking for $15 mil. That's more than his value. But hey go to the Browns or the Titans, good luck being a rich irrelevant player. Shaq is one of the most depressed people on the planet according to himself. He has a 40,000 sqft house and nobody in it because his wife and family left him. He's talked about it on multiple podcasts.

I don't care about the owners. There's a cap to who we can pay. If you pay a lot for a 2-down RB that's less money for a pass rush or WR or other positions.

Wow surprising to hear. He's been there for many years now, since Rex.

When it comes to money there is a point where more does not improve your life. It's the point of diminishing returns. When you are young and dumb you think more is always better but that's not always true. Is Tremaine Edmonds happy to be on the worst team in the league so he could have a few extra mil? Maybe he is but I doubt it. You can only have so many houses and cars and then it gets annoying. I have to hire people to take care of houses I don't even have time to go to. Should I work harder and have no time for my family to have another house I won't go to because I'm so busy? There's nothing else to buy eventually and I definitely don't have $50 mil. It's hard to imagine to people that work hard to scrape by, we have all been there. But hopefully you get to the point where you don't need anymore and so you cut back or retire. Does Cook really need to force his way off the team to get a little more than his market rate? I think he will regret it. I'd rather win

My argument is when is enough enough? If you were making $5 million at your job (some CEO's) would you demand more and possibly end up in a worse situation career wise just go get to $10-15 million because you heard that's what other guys can get? You already have multiple houses and cars and your family never has to work a day in their lives but yet you want more. I would be very happy to be in a good position making less which is actually something I do in my life. I could make more and have no work-life balance but I choose not to. When you know there's a cap and a limit for the money that goes around and you know asking for more than you need is not going to put you in the best situation to succeed then yes I call that selfish and narrow minded. I'd be very happy with $5 mil and a Superbowl and then that opens way more doors than the highest paid player on a bad team. How much do you need to "take care of yourself?" Cook already has $5 mil and will likely get $10 mil per season over the next 4 years. He will likely have $50 million if he keeps his mouth shut and plays football. But he needs more. Why? What can he do with $65 million that he can't with $50 million? Many high earners who live amazing lives won't make 1/10th of that in their lifetime.

Big Pharma is going to need to prescribe themselves anti depressants for the next 4 years!

Playing football with a roof and climate control? What a concept

It's clear that he only cares about money. I don't see him posting tweets about how the Bills should be working hard in the off-season to win the Superbowl. In fact he scrubbed his accounts of all things Bills. We don't need guys like that who only care about money. 99.9999% of us will never make $15 mil total in our lives and we are doing fine and he wants that PER SEASON. It's honestly very selfish. People saying "get paid while you can, this has to last you the rest of your life" are out of touch with how much it costs to have a nice life. He already has more than enough to have a great life. I'd be more concerned with how I'm remembered and not the things I'm able to buy. You win the Superbowl and you are now in a position to be considered for the HOF, TV analyst jobs, autograph signings etc. It's short sighted to say give me the money now. Enjoy playing for the Titans or Browns and being completely irrelevant. Tremaine Edmunds only cared about the money too and how quickly we forgot about and moved on from him. RB is a much easier position to replace. Trade him now while he's still worth something imo.

Why do we need fair elections? I thought Trump was a dictator? There won't be anymore elections

If he retires maybe the refs will quit giving KC calls in hopes of Taylor Swift tickets for their kids

Bills could have had Saquon Barkley if they were going to pay a RB. Paying Cook would be a joke. He's half as good and can't even play 3rd down because he can't block

Can Slick Rick coach special teams?

But do they have free continental breakfast?
