PrimeTime101 Posted Tuesday at 04:14 AM Posted Tuesday at 04:14 AM Answer is still an easy no for me. 1. Snap counts... 2. Third downs have not been great. (The great ones thrive on third downs) 3. He is running behind a really good offensive line (never talked about enough) 4. The JA effect... And his brother still not doing him favors. I feel like the repeat of Edmunds is coming... Cook has an amazing year. We get forced to let him go. (Lack of cap space and repeat asking price.) Many fans not happy... We draft another HB... Rinse... repeat... Quote

Ignore the fact that you already have a top tier, and I say elite, running back, and a young one at that... Instead, create a glaring need by "letting Cook walk". And instead of improving your team, eliminating a clear weakness and turning it into a strength, just spin your wheels--and also just hope that Henderson is as good as Cook. Makes perfect sense. And what happens if Hairston is a bust and Henderson a star ? We could have signed Alexander as well. You have to a little more open to opinion and see different scenarios 1 Quote

Rinse... repeat... 1 and 2 are a product of modern NFL. Ty Johnson becoming Kevin Faulk is also a pleasant surprise. The current third down talk is similar to the goal line and short yardage of prior years. When given the opportunity he thrived. Cook is good out of the backfield and able to play out wide in formation. The good oline is why having a player of Cooks ability is important. Get 50 yards a touch down. Same hole with Johnson and Davis is first and 10 from the 22. Thats the difference and aspect lost in the rinse and repeat. If they dont resign him a day 2 pick will be used to replace him. One costs a bit more money but opens up an asset that enables another premium position to be improved with cost control. 1 Quote

Still think he’s a hell of a back and would love to have him, but if he really makes his intentions clear…does he get booed out of Buffalo? When he undoubtedly makes a big play in the opener…does he get booed? Hollins and Cook were the 2 guys not named Allen that really gave us something against the Chiefs. IMO he deserves his spot if he’ll behave. Is he worth the headache? He is not worth the money he wants. No RB is worth that money and he’s not even elite to be asking. He’s improved every year in the league running the ball but he’s not a good pass catcher which limits his 3 down capabilities. I love Cook on our team on a rookie deal but this regime has been very successful getting RBs in the draft cheap. Ray Davis and rookie to be named later your up next year imo Quote

LEBills Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago On this team, yea he is worth the $15 mil he is asking for. Probably will get 13-15 here or elsewhere in FA. Quote
