given what we've seen recently with new money for Bijan Robinson, Jonathan Taylor, and Jahmyr Gibbs, the Bills front office probably can't be more relieved the Cook extension got done when it did, in August 2025. The $15.2M Cook received in his four-year, $46M deal is now the 17th-highest among running backs.

Cook's $46M deal with $15.2M guaranteed looks prescient; led NFL in rushing 2026.

Cook signed a four-year, $46M extension in August 2025 with $15.2M guaranteed, now the 17th-highest among running backs. The source notes the Bills front office was relieved to get the deal done when they did, as Bijan Robinson, Jonathan Taylor, and Jahmyr Gibbs subsequently received $37.5M, $19.3M, and $17.8M fully guaranteed respectively. Cook led the NFL in rushing in 2026 and has yet to reach 1,000 career touches.
