He was coming off 110 grabs the prior 2 seasons when he signed that deal. If Cook would take that same 3 year extension at $25.5M then I think Beane would probably be all over that whether the contractually obligated Cook has the leverage to pull it off or whether anyone likes it or not. As for Mixon outperforming Cook, that is largely irrelevant because the deal was for what he had been doing. Which was putting up 300+ touch seasons and bringing a physical element to the game on any down. I watched a lot of the Texans. He was a 2 down guy. Regardless of what he did with the Bengals, the Texans wanted him as a 2 down guy. Ogunbowale played 3rd downs and was the receiving back. Quote

All teams have made some poor trades, but trading Jason Peters was easily one of the worst, dumbest trades in NFL history. 1 1 Quote

I like both Ohio state RBs, fast and can block and catch and both have a lot of experience but not too much tread on the tires bc of sharing the load for their careers. If we draft any RB high I’m going to scream. 1 Quote

Me too but I'd say a lot of things didn't go like the Texans planned. And Mixon got $8.5M not $10M as you claimed. And those discrepancies aside......when players reach free agency they get paid based on their past production.............not how the team plans to use them. $8.5M was the cost of doing business and is a far cry from $15M or even $12M when it comes to RB contracts.

Well since I have Cook under contract for this year, next year i would trade him(Knox) for anything I could get, including a 7th. Edited February 15 by billsfan714 Quote

I’m at the point where I’m debating if the Bills should pay Cook just so it gets them to stop drafting RBs so high every season. 1 Quote

DaVinci Posted February 15 Posted February 15 How about First rd pick , secnd rd pick and Cook for Garrett ? 1 Quote
stevestojan Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I thought McClappys last redeeming quality was “culture” and keeping ***** like this out of the media. He can’t out-coach any playoff caliber team, but we had that awesome “locker room culture.” 🙄 seems a guy who preaches culture wouldn’t like having players post ***** like this on Instagram. What exactly does McD do for this team? 1 1 Quote

Disagree - pay a WR, draft the RB. WRs are harder to hit. And it's hard to totally miss on an RB, seems pretty easy to get a Singletary type. Quote

Not record breaking that's for sure. Quote
stevestojan Posted February 15 Posted February 15 For all the NYGiants GMs on here talking about RBs being a dime a dozen, let’s not forget Cook led the league in rushing TDs. Quote

I’m just more bothered that we have spent 2 2nds, a 3rd and a 4th on RB’s in like 4 years. It’s gross. 1 Quote

I rounded $9.875M to $10M. https://overthecap.com/player/joe-mixon/5634 Yeah that's not really how it worked though. They re-worked his 2024 deal to lower that cap hit. It was then a deal that would potentially pay him 3 years $25.5M. They can cut him after 2025 and the total paid will be $16M for 2 years. So $8M aav. And that is the likely result rather than pay him $9.5M in 2026. Quote
