Buffalo Bills' James Cook Seeks $15 Million Annual Contract Extension

The Pro Bowl running back's social media activity hints at negotiations for a deal that would make him one of the NFL's highest-paid players at his position.

James Cook, entering the final year of his rookie contract, has publicly indicated his desire for a $15 million annual salary through social media posts.
If granted, Cook's proposed salary would rank second among NFL running backs, trailing only Christian McCaffrey's $19 million per year deal.
Cook is coming off a career-best season, rushing for 1,009 yards and leading the league with 16 touchdowns while earning his second Pro Bowl selection.
The Bills face a decision on whether to meet Cook's demands, with analysts noting the team's shared-carries approach and potential use of the franchise tag as factors in negotiations.
Cook's performance has been pivotal to the Bills' offense, complementing MVP quarterback Josh Allen and helping the team remain competitive in the AFC.
