QCity Posted Tuesday at 07:20 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:20 PM That is not "resetting" the RB market 😂 4 3 1 Quote
ColoradoBills Posted Tuesday at 07:21 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:21 PM I know this a touchy subject with Bills fans, but I'm OK giving Cook $12.5M AAV which makes him the 4th highest in the league. I wouldn't do anything more than that. Cook along with players like Spencer Brown and Shakir need to have their cap pushed out to make room for a 3-4 year run with Josh. 2 9 Quote

I used to think he was going to get around $12m. Now I think it will be closer to $14m 1 Quote
FireChans Posted Tuesday at 07:26 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:26 PM I think the Eagles are gonna make a player trade. Quote

SCBills Posted Tuesday at 07:26 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:26 PM (edited) Cook just changed his pinned post to 20M And no, this doesn't make it more sensical for us to pay a smaller, more slender, RB that can't play 3 downs anything more than 10-12M per year (and even that I wouldn't do, but I'm sure Beane would) Edited Tuesday at 07:27 PM by SCBills 1 1 1 Quote

And with cap inflation and how contracts are valued it will never reach 4%. It will be closer to 2-3% the first 3 years if he were to be extended Quote
appoo Posted Tuesday at 07:29 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:29 PM Just now, Process said: Lol BYE No one is going to give him $15M in the open market. Unless it's a team that;s not contending this year, has Cap to burn, and front load him now so he's got a smaller cap hit when they think they can contend 1 1 Quote

Now I think it will be closer to $14m It is a volatile subject. I still think for the Bills POV it's $12.5M max. The whole thing ends up how Cook reacts IF Beane doesn't sign him before camp. I don't see a trade in the making right now. 1 Quote

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted Tuesday at 07:31 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:31 PM There are James Cook equivalents in the draft almost every year. There are no equivalents for Barkley currently in the league nor in the draft this year. Paying Barkley money to lesser players is a fools errand. As much as I like James Cook, the Bills should either sign him to a reasonable contract or tag him for 2026 and draft his replacement. 2 2 1 Quote
appoo Posted Tuesday at 07:32 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:32 PM (edited) Bills can't have a 45M-50M QB and a 15M RB. That's just reality. If it came down to it. I'd rather trade cook for a 2nd or late 1st, resign Ty Johnson, and draft a 4th/5th round RB and start Davis. And then use all them high draft picks to reinvigorate the talent on D Edited Tuesday at 07:33 PM by appoo 6 1 Quote
