You can then see how Cook's team, that has the emotional IQ of a teenage school girl, would go to social media demanding $15M.
My, you're awfully kind with your assessment.

Welcome Elijah. His wife must have liked Buffalo... but then again, who doesn't???
Now we all need to work on Stephanie LaChance (Mitch Marner's wife) ......Josh and Hailee are key to this one. Gotta get this young man on the Sabres.
I think the Sabres need to do an offer sheet. Screw the Laffs!

The article say that it wasn’t negligent operationsounds like it’s very possibly the terrifying freak accident of banging your head on cement when you fall and just having terrible luck.
I wonder how it will be handled if Elway had been drinking?

Wow. I’d take him in a flash now pick 80.
he must have been amazingly HORRID DlCK in his interviews!!!!even as backup. crazy.
Much like Colin Kaepernick, there is MEGA DRAMA that will follow this kid if (when) signed.
I can see Dion requesting a sit down with the head coach constantly!

I’m on cook’s side but technically he has a contract currently and he doesn’t make enough money to sit out and pay the fines.
im hoping they work it out before ota’s
"Technically"

Potential dual threat? With his speed and very good hands, could be a great addition on offense.

A few thoughts on Cook:
- Missing OTAs is not a big deal. But, I suspect it's not just about missing OTAs that might stick in Beane's craw, but the public means in which Cook has dealt with his contract frustration. Beane has said as much. Missing OTAs is just icing on the ***** cake.
- A lot of posters have brought up what a great season Cook just had, but It strikes me that Cook finished last season exceptionally strong. IMO (and some might argue this), if you look at the tape from Cook midseason, and compare it to Cook in the playoffs, he really came on strong towards the end of the season. And it makes me wonder-- did he (or the O-line?) get better as the season progressed, or did he play harder? Which begs the question: if it's the latter, how will he play after he gets paid?
- Ty Johnson is every bit as fast as James Cook, but I believe Cook has better acceleration, and better yards after contact. But Ty Johnson is the better receiver by a mile.
I've never really understood the contract strategy of holding out, or backing off from the team when a player is unhappy with their contract, or is seeking an extension. But, it happens so often that there's obviously something to it. Personally, in my career, I've been freelance for 34 years, and so there have been many jobs in which I felt I was being underpaid. But, I never worked down to the value I felt they were placing on me. My strategy was always to show the company I was worth more, and that's worked out well for me over the years.
Something to it?
Yeah, like in this case forcing your way off of the team!
2 hours ago, Doc Brown said:Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Myles Garrett posted a thank you letter to Browns fans to convince the Browns to sign him for $40m/year. Cook doesn't have 34 years left on his playing career so the appropriate time for him to exert maximum pressure is right now. His next contract will likely be the only bite of the apple he can setting himself up financially the rest of his life. I
t's likely the best season he'll ever have as a pro given his age, the quality of our o-line, and his efficiency numbers last year (especially his total TD's which will regress to the mean). You also now have fans who fell in love with him last year on Cook's side. It could force a trade to a team willing to pay him a massive RB extension if the Bills aren't going too. I don't like the strategy but I've seen a number of players get a contract extension done successfully using this strategy. At the very least it makes it more likely that you can add incentives to his contract this year like the Giants did with Barkley when they franchise tagged him.
Cook is NO Myles Garrett!

Psssst-- People! It already has become a distraction!

Yes I would. Especially if I had agreed on my present pay.

Based on my 64 years on this earth, James Cook is making a HUGE mistake here. He's sending all the worng signals to Beane and his teammates.
There are multiple trade partners out there, you can be certain of that.-

The social media stuff means nothing. Zilch, not a thing.
Brandon Beane could care less what he says on social media concerning his contract. All that matters is negotiations with his agent.
You keep believing that 😉

The guy has not done a damn thing wrong.
What on earth are you talking about.
Well.......Negotiating your contract via social media may be considered to be "wrong" by some folks. Like maybe Brandon Beane?

Saying that he's not going to go all out to protect himself from injury would not be in his best interest since he wants a huge payday after the season. Cook really impressed me last year with his excellent vision and his physicality to run over defenders on his way to the end zone which I didn't think he had in him. The two Chiefs games and the Seahawks game he looked like a running back possessed. My heart says he's earned a big contract extension but my head vehemently disagrees with my heart in that you shouldn't give an above average player at the running back position elite money. Especially if the RB isn't a bellcow back. My guess is he'll play well next year and then sign elsewhere and we'll get a 4th or 5th round comp pick for him.
Agreed!
-
Great post! Oh wait....😉
What's the number next year if we slap the franchise tag on him? It must be below 15 million?
-
Does this seem feasible?
Cook is without a doubt an established top 10 running back and could provide immediate offensive upside to a team.
What say ye?
