The Buffalo Bills are in the middle of a contract dispute with James Cook, as the Pro Bowl running back has now sat out multiple practices over the last few days. Cook is entering the final year of his rookie contract and wants to be paid like one of the top backs in the league.
The biggest struggle for both sides is finding ground on a common number. While Cook is younger than Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, and Christian McCaffrey, nobody would say that he is in their tier. But his production over the last two years stacks up favorably compared to just about any running back in the league.
