Bills get awful James Cook update on contract drama, holdout potential

3 hours ago 1

The Buffalo Bills were one player away from a drama-free offseason.

They extended all but one key piece, securing plenty of happiness for their best players.

But then there's James Cook. The star running back wants $15 million per year in a new deal, and the Bills don't plan on giving him that.

And now, there's a stalemate.

ESPN's Adam Schefter recently spoke about Cook on his podcast, and it's not good. He said Cook has “basically disconnected himself from the organization and the city, put his house up for sale."

“It bears watching because you’ve got a guy who’s unhappy with this contractual situation,” Schefter said. “I don’t think we’ll be seeing him in Buffalo anytime soon. Again, the start of training camp will be the next critical moment. If they don’t have a deal done there by then, does James Cook show up for training camp? Does he risk the penalties that come along in the collective bargaining agreement if he doesn’t show up?”
