Overview

  • James Cook returned to full participation in Bills practice on Aug. 12, concluding a hold-in that began on Aug. 3 during training camp.
  • General manager Brandon Beane announced the four-year extension on Aug. 13, a deal reported to be worth $48 million with $30 million guaranteed.
  • The Athletic was the first outlet to report the agreement before the team confirmed the financial terms.
  • Cook’s leverage stemmed from his 2024 season in which he co-led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns.
  • The extension builds on the Bills’ recent roster-retention strategy under Beane, which has secured several core offensive contributors to multiyear deals.
