Cook and Cook the Bills RB tandem?

[Bermuda Triangle]

Not surprisingly, he had his best rushing output this past season against the Bills D

Nah. We might actually have the better Cook brother right now. I'm a Dalvin Cook fan and thought he had a shot at being one of the greats a couple of years ago when he was scoring 2-3 TDs every game, but he's currently the perfect marriage of one too many injuries and a talented but old back. Worst case scenario he's approaching Todd Gurley territory, best case he's a talent that you can get cheaper. Can't do it, too risky for this team with too many other holes, but I hope he goes somewhere else and rips off a 1500 yard season.

I rather sign Barkley he’s the better player and Cook looked like he lost step last season.

Take away the 81 yard collapse and he only had 13 carries for 38 yards.  He's not worth 14 million.

Agree that he’s not worth $14 million.   But I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw that his season high in rushing yards was against the Bills.

1 year 5 million to play with his brother take it or leave it

$14 mil, uhhh no thanks. I think they said Motor would be looking for a contract for $5 mil

 

But then you'd have Motor instead of Dalvin Cook.

I'd rather have Alexander Mattison than Cook.

More like, O'Connell's run scheme is terrible.  

[Chicken Boo]

So if I have this right, there are people who see Edmunds as a near $20 million per year linebacker, but not Dalvin Cook at $14 mill or less?

 

4 straight 1,000 yard seasons at 4.65ypc.  A 3-down guy that is a threat to score every time he touches the football.

No, you would have Motor + a really good OL. We need more than 1 player

Unless theres a sweetheart deal to play with his bro and a chance at the SB i doubt it. However, interesting to note they are perfect compliments to one another

I have zero faith in this coaching staff's ability to put together a quality o-line.  They've failed thus far.

 

I am in favor of adding supreme talent wherever and whenever you can.  Beane kicked the tires on McCaffrey.  Cook should be explored as well.

So many people focused on $14M and can't see past that to see the statement that he's likely to receive less on the open market.

The Bills won’t pay him any higher than what they would pay Singletary. Obviously Cook is better. Just pointing out that I don’t think the Bills are paying Cook1 a reduced deal either.

Several good FA RBs available for waaay less than $14M.

If they can't put together a quality O-line, it doesn't matter who the RB is. Spending $14M on a RB with trash blocking in front of him is like putting racing slicks on a Prius and throwing money out the window as you drive down the road.
