You're accusing him of yapping when you actually have no idea of how many times he's spoken out?

Is Cook still yapping on social media about a contract? 

According to earlier in the thread, Yes.  From what people have posted here, Cook has done the outrageous $15M request, gone through the pouting phase of erasing Bills related materials, and is now onto the buffering picture (the Diggs equivalent of "Well....").

 

Reading the tea leaves this is the stage where Cook and his agent have given the Bills a ridiculous figure for an extension and claiming it's up to the Bills (which they of course will not do).  Whether Cook will play out his last year of the contract or hold out is now the question.

An OUTRAGOUS ask of $1-2M more than most agree is his market value!!!

Was a discussion on 1 b live about caution to outlier high TD production years.

 

Raheem Mostert was an example of this got released 1 year after career TD year.

He'll be 33 years old,  injured this past season,  had a very solid career. 

His 'career ' year was in his 9th season.  Cook's in his 3rd, just hitting his prime years. 

 

Do you really see this as a comparable?

I remember people downplaying each of Diggs posts, unable to see the forest from the trees. 

That poor, unfortunate simpleton, J Cook, made his third straight social media gaffe - how unlucky can you get.

As a known Cook sympathizer you can try and position this as $1-2M away.  First, I don't buy your "most agree" figure, if that figure is over $10M.  Secondly, it's not our valuation that is important, but the FO, and I don't think they buy into your, or Cooks, evaluations.

 

I don't expect an extension anytime soon, if at all.  My hope (only because I think the figures are so far apart) is that Cook will honor and play out his current contract.

Cook can't hold out the entire season.  He's still on a rookie contract.  It would mean he only would have 3 years accrued.

He wouldn't be an UFA next year.  He would be an RFA.

I don't know what Cook is thinking. I don't really care right now.  I'll let it play out and try not to feel a need to insult him along the way. 

 

What did he tweet?

 

This is ridiculous to get upset about a buffering image, or the words '15 million'.

Everyone needs to get a grip. 

He's not a simpleton,  he's not a gangster. Barely heard the guy say two words his first few seasons here.  He's been nothing but a good soldier for the team while having a tremendous year this past season

 

It's up to you to care or not, but you did jump in with the "OMG, not the buffering picture!!!!' comment.  So maybe you should be aware of the entire context.

 

I do not think J Cook and his team are simpletons, that is what makes this worrisome.  The guy we barely heard two words from is now posting on social media very  ominous messages straight out of the Diggs handbook.

 

It's disappointing to a lot of us that when we finally get an exciting, ascending RB, he is posturing for an outrageous payday.
