Based on the guaranteed amount in this agreement, and not knowing the specifics of the contract, it appears to me to be a 7.5 mil/yr deal with incentives.

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. 

 

I like the optimistic Ethan!

 

[blacklabel]

Nice. I'm glad they got a deal done. I like Ray and Ty but Jimmy gives them a gamebreaker element that those guys don't quite have yet. Cook's speed, vision, and ability to slice thru lanes is really good.

 

Awesome. Just don't drop anymore giftwrapped passes from Lord Jorsh, alright?

[Magox]

The deal was inevitable and it's a good fair valued deal for both sides.  Buffalo retains their playmaker and Cook gets the financial security he wanted at fair market value.  It's not an over or underpay.  

 

Bills had to get a deal done and they had the leverage the entire time.  You just don't let playmakers leave your organization and Cook is without doubt the 2nd best skilled offensive player behind Josh Allen.   Glad the deal got done!

Can we go trade future picks now for Micah Parsons 😂!

[BillsFan130]

Pretty crazy that 4 guys from the 2022 draft have signed extensions.

 

Cook, Bernard, Shakir, Benford.

Well done BB

[noacls17]

He won't score 16 rushing td over the life of the contract. Total overpayment for a player who does not get 50% of snap share

And 2-4 of them are likely pro bowl players this year.

 

Beane sucks..

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

Dude, bellcows make it to 30-31 before slowing down and he plays barely 50% of the snaps in a 3 man rotation. He and the team will be fine, especially since the cap is going to increase and cover his salary anyway lol.

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

What about #73?

[gonzo1105]

Yup 12 million was about right for his talent level and market. Usually Beane likes to get a bit of a discount but didn’t hear. It’s a good deal for both sides

He is up there as well. 

[Process]

Great deal for both sides

[Ya Digg?]

There are about 10-12 people who have been destroying Cook about all of this-not honoring his contract, non Bills DNA, ME player not team player, he’s a distraction, trade him for anything….looking for their responses to this 🤔🤔

[NoName]

I like the deal and it seems fair for both sides….if Cook keeps playing at the same level, or improves, I think the business/holdout stuff comes  back again 2-3 years from now.

 

with so much being front loaded, the Bills give up a lot of leverage if he pulls the hold out stuff down the road.

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.

First day here?

I like Ray Davis n all, but whew...
