James Cook must prove his value to the Buffalo Bills, says GM Brandon Beane, as the team prepares for the new NFL season.

James Cook, running back, needs to prove that he’s still got it if he wants to play long-term with the Buffalo Bills, according to the team’s general manager, Brandon Beane.

Exactly what that will look like is unknown, given Cook reportedly wants roughly $15 million APY, but there is a clear desire to keep James as a Bill. Whether he shares the same hope as the Bills is unknown, but Cook will be looking to prove that he deserves a new contract in 2025 by dominating on the field as he has the past two seasons.
