It's a bit surprising that Buffalo hasn't already brought Cooks back to the roster, especially when considering other avenues they've taken in the room. Per Spotrac, Cooks could command in the neighborhood of $3 million this season. It's not the most affordable option, but Cooks feels like the best idea for a player who has some unfinished business to take care of with the Bills.

Cooks's $3M value and unfinished business make him the best FA option for Bills.

Cooks, who played for the Bills in 2025, helped diversify the passing attack but struggled with consistency catching Allen's passes, partly due to lack of preparation time. With the 2026 season approaching, Cooks has unfinished business with Buffalo and feels like the best free-agent option for the team despite a market value of around $3 million per Spotrac. It's surprising Buffalo hasn't already brought him back given other avenues they've explored.
