James Cook makes his pitch as Bills examine running back room
‘It’s a bold pitch from Cook, who is well loved by the Bills locker room and who took a step forward off the field this season as part of the Bills’ leadership council.

Cornerback is on high-priority list for Bills after loss to Chiefs
‘Now, Douglas is set to be a free agent, and Benford is entering the final year of his rookie contract. There is no incumbent on the roster who looks ready to assume a starting role, given the disappointing play of Kaiir Elam, who also is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
