Buffalo Rumblings on James Cook

Cook's $46M extension looks prescient; he's already outperformed the deal.

Cook III signed a four-year, $46 million extension prior to the 2025 season and has already arguably outperformed it given the recent explosion of running back contracts in the NFL. The source calls the move to sign him 'prescient' and notes that he 'has earned every penny' of the deal. With a cap hit of $5.88 million in 2026 and a dead cap charge of $22.83 million if released, Cook is locked in as Buffalo's centerpiece offensive weapon.
