Bills' James Cook Lists Home Amid Contract Pause

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has intensified speculation about his future with the team by listing his Orchard Park home for sale, amid stalled contract negotiations. Cook is seeking a $15 million per year extension, which would make him one of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL, but the team has not agreed to his demands. Bills' general manager Brandon Beane has stated that the organization has paused negotiations until after the 2025 Draft, focusing instead on the draft and salary cap management. This development has raised questions about Cook's long-term intentions with the Bills, as he is in the final year of his rookie contract. Despite Cook's strong performance, the Bills have historically not extended running backs drafted by them, which adds to the uncertainty of his situation. The sale of his house, worth $710,000, could indicate readiness for a potential trade or relocation, although it has been noted that it might not necessarily mean an impending departure.
