James Cook

Cook is currently seeking an extension from the Bills, but reported for mandatory minicamp on time after sitting out OTAs. His decision to report to minicamp gives the appearance of goodwill between player and team, but the fact he was a full participant should serve as a good sign for his 2025 outlook. Cook added that he is planning to report to training camp, but didn't specify what his involvement would be without a new deal, and GM Brandon Beane hinted that negotations are ongoing but would be kept between Cook and the team. Last season, Cook finished as the RB16 in PPR points per game and was the RB19 in per game scoring in 2023. Assuming he's available for a full slate of games, he should once again profile as a strong RB2 candidate for fantasy players.

James Cook is still pushing for a new contract, but the Bills running back was in attendance for the first day of mandatory practices. According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Cook was present at Bills minicamp today.

Bills RB James Cook reported for Tuesday's minicamp session and was a full participant, according to ESPN's Alaina Gretzenberg. Cook, who's entering the final year of his rookie deal, skipped OTAs earlier this offseason as he angles for a new contract. But he told the media on Tuesday that he plans to show up for the start of training camp next month. In order to compete for a Super Bowl and have a winning season, I have to be out there with my teammates," Cook said.

Though he's seeking a new contract, Bills running back James Cook showed up for the team's mandatory minicamp this week.
