Joe Brady simply moved from OC to head coach, so I don't expect Cook's involvement to suddenly disappear

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Cook's RB6 finish and passing-game role should persist under Brady's promotion.

Cook finished as RB6 last season and can lead the league in rushing. The coaching change does not scare Joe Pepe, as Joe Brady simply moved from OC to head coach, so Cook's involvement should not suddenly disappear. Even with talk of Buffalo wanting to throw the ball more, Cook continues to be mentioned as someone they want more involved in the passing game. With Ty Johnson and Ray Davis behind him, neither should take significant touches away from one of the league's best running backs on a high-scoring offense.
