For most of the offseason, Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has told everyone in earshot that he was worth more than the organization was currently paying

Last season with the Bills, Cook was a huge part of the elite offense the team put together. He carried the football 207 times in 16 games for 1,009 yards and 16 touchdowns, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. He also caught 32 passes for 258 yards and two scores.

Cook delivered a strong message to the Bills about his desire for a new contract at training camp on Thursday.

The first day of Bills training camp also saw CB Christian Benford's strong day and an injury concern along the offensive line.

Now, as Buffalo gets ready to be on the field, head coach Sean McDermott told reporters on Wednesday morning that he anticipates Cook will practice. “He’s ready to go ,” McDermott said, via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.

Despite not getting the contract extension he desires, James Cook is off to a hot start for the Buffalo Bills during training camp.
