Thurman#1 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) 8 hours ago, Victory Formation said: Is Benford worth $20M+ a year? Hell yeah he is. The top nine CB contracts, ranked on AAV, are already $20M or higher. He already fits as a top nine guy. And the number at $20M or up will be a lot higher very soon. If they don't sign him, they won't have a guy on either side who you'd want as your #1 on either side. I don't see any rush, but they should extend him sometime this year if it's at all reasonable / possible. Note: injury is a concern. They should - obviously - listen to their doctors before making any moves like this. Edited March 11 by Thurman#1 1 1 Quote

I am not sure if the Bills should extend Cook or not, but it seems to be trending toward "Cook gets extension, or Cook becomes a distraction" territory, IMO. Package him with 30 and move up in the draft. 1 Quote

That’s the current rate for RB tags. Sure that's a possibility, but unrealistic. Basically asking Cook to play on consecutive 1 yr deals.... No way Cooks camp will want that, and that's a big D move by Beane. Haven't seen us franchise tag anyone that I can recall under his leadership Quote
Solomon Grundy Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I think Benford and his concussions are an issue. I'm not giving Cook that $ as a part time player. Quote
Buftex Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I don't think either of them is a priority, right now. Both are under contract for 2025. Not saying they should wait until their contracts are up, but there is no urgency to re-sign them right now. They have other priorities. 1 Quote

Don Otreply Posted March 11 Posted March 11 There is much better than a fair chance that Cook would be re-signed already if he hadn’t gone full on nuclear in public to start his side of the “negotiations “ his opening line may as well been, “ I’m not try to start a pissing match, but” …, The off season is so much fun, 😁👍 Quote
