Bills Lock In James Cook With Major Extension

The Buffalo Bills are making sure their ground game is set for years to come. According to NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, running back James Cook has agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract extension that includes $30 million guaranteed.

Cook, who has become one of Buffalo’s most reliable offensive weapons, now gets long-term security while the Bills lock in a playmaker who fits perfectly into their offensive plans. The deal reflects the team’s belief that Cook can be a central piece for both the run game and the passing attack.

With Cook under contract through his prime years, Buffalo is betting on continuity in the backfield to help balance their offense and take pressure off the passing game.

The question now — was the investment worth it for a running back in today’s NFL market?
