James Cook's contract situation with the Buffalo Bills has reached a stalemate, as he seeks a long-term deal after two consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Despite a reported asking price of $15 million per year, the Bills, under GM Brandon Beane, have not moved to sign him. Cook, who has been left out while teammates secured new contracts, is expected to participate in the upcoming season, though there's a chance he may skip voluntary workouts while searching for a new deal. Beane has expressed hope to retain Cook beyond this season, suggesting they value him but recognize the market's reluctance to invest heavily in running backs.
