It's "not great" for the Buffalo Bills and running back James Cook right now, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The insider updates the ongoing extension talks between the two sides recently during an appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show." Those are the exact words he used, but Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane said something similar already.
Beane said extension talks with Cook are off until after the 2025 NFL draft which begins on April 24.
While the Bills front office has inked multiple players to extensions this offseason including quarterback Josh Allen, Cook's has yet to come. The difference many point to is how public Cook has been in wanting to be paid while the other players who were extended did the opposite.
Rap Sheet mentioned Cook will play for the Bills in 2025, but the 25-year-old is entering the final year of his contract.
