Bills sign James Cook to four year forty eight million extension
The Buffalo Bills have reached a four year contract with James Cook worth 48 million, with 30 million guaranteed, according to his agents. Cook, 25, has been with Buffalo since being drafted in 2022 and has earned two Pro Bowls. He was present at training camp but did not practice for nine days and sat out the preseason opener while negotiations continued. The sides reached an agreement yesterday, and Cook resumed practice.
Cook's extension locks him in as Buffalo builds around quarterback Josh Allen. This move supports the Bills' playoff and Super Bowl ambitions by keeping a key back in the rotation for his prime years and strengthens the team’s offensive depth entering the regular season.
