Remember how the final drive of the season didn’t produce any points while Cook was on the sideline. Remember how he scored a TD by sheer will on 4th and goal. He’s an elite RB. He should get paid. At worst he is 4th best RB in the league and he doesn’t have the injury history of McCaffrey or Barkley and is far younger than Henry.
He’s the second best player on the team. He’s far better at his position than Rousseau, Oliver, and Bernard are at theirs. Only a previously healthy Milano, Johnson, and maybe Benford are comparable. Beane wastes millions on terrible players like Epenesa and two PED cheats. Pay Cook and draft defensive line.
