It was a nice surprise to see James Cook report to training camp for the Bills despite being in the midst of a contract negotiation. We’ve seen several other talented players (Micah Parsons, Trey Hendrickson, Terry McLaurin) all report to camp, but not practice with their respective teams as they wait on a new deal.
But that wasn’t the case for Cook, who showed up to camp ready to work. He’s been a full participant over the last two weeks as the Bills gear up for Week 1. That is what makes his latest negotiation tactic so shocking.
