James Cook

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports James Cook is attending Bills minicamp.

Cook, who was a no-show at the team’s OTAs in late May, checked in at the first day of minicamp amid his push for a new contract with Buffalo. NFL Network has reported that Cook, 25, entering the final year of his rookie deal, wants $15 million a year but is likely to play in 2025 even without an extension. Bill general manager Brandon Beane told reporters in April that no teams had inquired about Cook’s availability this offseason following a 2024 season that saw him total nearly 1,300 yards and 18 touchdowns. Cook appears on track to serve as Buffalo’s No. 1 back in 2025, and should be considered a top-15 fantasy option in PPR formats.
