Cook signed👀 - 4 / 48

[JerseyBills]

 

Most guaranteed $ for a RB in the last 5 years according to WFAN radio 

Draft Develop Re sign!!!

 

I'm very happy with 12 mil per year

Fair deal for both sides

 

Edit - 30 mil guaranteed

$12m sounds about right in relation to the Williams deal. As ever the details will matter in terms of how and when the team flexibility is built in. 

[Roundybout]

$12 million is about right. Glad we get to keep him, he’s a great talent. 

[Evansfan322]

Finally! I had a feeling Cook wanted 4 years instead of 3 but whatever, let’s go!

[Pecker]

Seems like a long deal with lots of guaranteed money for a RB.  More than the Bills could afford. 
 

hes 25 now.  Most RBs don’t make it to 29

30 mil guaranteed,  so essentially it's a 5 year deal counting this one? I'm not good with understanding these things

Yes. That $48 mill will essentially be spread over 5 years because the amortised signing bonus will start immediately and some of that money will hit the 2025 cap. 

 

EDIT: but the $5.7m cap charge already due this year has to be accounted for too. So if it's a 4 year $48m extension that leaves him with a 5 years $53.7m contract......

This is great news!

 

If he could improve his pass pro it would become an epic deal.

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Love it.  He wanted to be here, and they came significantly off that ridiculous 15M number.  Great for both sides all around.  I’ve been on record all along that Cook is a very important piece of this offense and not easily replaceable.

Hope he has life insurance.

[DrDawkinstein]

I'm guessing Beane opened around $10M per, and we all know Cook's starting number. Good compromise on both sides.

 

Took some maneuvering and working leverages, but they got it done.

 

No one will remember all the thread drama by the time the season starts.

It’s pretty amazing the extensions Beane handed out this offseason in keeping the  core together. Beane pretty much staying true to his word of drafting and resigning if it’s in the best interest. 

 

Pretty pumped Cook is staying. I didn’t like the distraction affecting our goals and arguably our best weapon outside of Allen. 

 

I’m also happy for my son who just bought a Cook jersey last year and will get more  than a year out of it. 

 

 

[YoloinOhio]

Great job for both sides!

Since it’s an extension rather than a new deal, wonder if it lowers the cap this year

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Great day! Love Cook! $30M guaranteed is what probably got the deal done. The per year stuff is just funny money. 

 

I really like the RB group. If Davis can progress just a little they have three guys that can all play. Would love to see Cook around 50 receptions this year but I dont think it will happen. And that's becuase I think Kincaid is going to explode this year. 

[T.E.]

Nice work getting that done almost a month before the season starts. Plenty of time to get him up to speed. Glad he's on the team; he's a weapon.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Stoked ❤️😁

[Gregg]

YES! Great news. The Bills need Cook out there helping Allen as he is their 2nd best player on offense

[Doc Brown]

Similar money to the Bernard contract which is what I expected from the start.  A little bit more drama though.
