Two Bills Drive

‘“I’ve always loved it,” Allen said Wednesday. “It’s just being away and coming here, I mean every moment you’re awake you’re around your teammates, around your friends, around the strength staff, getting worked on and there’s no better way to get better at football than here. If you love football, you should love camp, just hanging out and being around the guys.”’

‘He went public this offseason with his desire to become one of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL. His $5.071 million cap hit for 2025 ranks 18th at the position, well below the market rate for someone so productive. The 2022 second-round draft pick led the league last season with 16 rushing touchdowns, and he ran for 1,009 yards on 207 carries. Cook became the first Bills player with 20-plus rushing touchdowns, regular season and playoffs, since O.J. Simpson accomplished the feat in 1975.’

‘“The body is perfectly fine. Calf is no issue anymore,” he said after practice. “I was feeling good weeks ago, so I was able to get a full offseason in and train really hard. I feel great coming into camp. It’s fun to be out there again. Obviously, you’ve got to knock the rust off, as usual during camp – cut down the mental errors, first day jitters a little bit, but it was a good day.”’

‘The Bills are expected to be elite … again. Anything less than 12 wins will require some explaining.’

‘“I was an open book. I have two sisters that I love dearly, and I respect all females, and I was just determined to get my truth out there. Like I said, I was an open book, and I was exonerated from both of those and just got to stay strong. But I’m confident that my truth will be out there and, like I said, I’m an open book.”’
