Buffalo Bills James Cooks Contract: A Bargain Amidst Rising Running Back Salaries Last offseason, the Buffalo Bills secured running back James Cook with a four-year, forty-six million dollar extension. Initially met with mixed reactions, Cook silenced critics by winning the NFL rushing title in 2025. However, recent contracts for Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker, and Travis Etienne, along with the draft pick Jeremiyah Love, have pushed Cook out of the top ten highest-paid running backs. Despite this, Cooks impressive production, including leading the league in rushing yards and tying a franchise record in touchdowns, makes his contract one of the NFLs smartest bargains.
