The Buffalo Bills have halted contract talks with running back James Cook, who is seeking an extension worth $15 million per season.
"I don't see us getting something done anytime soon. We're onto the draft. Just because we don't get something done this year doesn't mean we can't get something done before he's a free agent," general manager Brandon Beane said at the NFL league meeting in Palm Beach, Florida.
A deal for $15 million per season would rank Cook third among NFL running backs behind Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley ($20.6 million per season) and San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey ($19 million).
