When the Buffalo Bills decided to give James Cook a 4-year, $48 million extension this past summer, it showed fans that the Bills wanted to keep their dynamic running back for the future to keep the pressure off of Josh Allen. In 2023 and 2024, Cook became a rising star in this league with back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons and he was tied for the most rushing touchdowns last season.
Cook got off to a hot start this season, rushing for 100+ yards in three of the first four games. However, he’s averaging 68 yards on the ground the last two games and hasn’t been in the endzone since Week 4.
