James Cook signed a new contract worth 48 million dollars

• Cook signed a four-year agreement worth 48 million dollars.
• The new contract includes 30 million dollars guaranteed.
• Bill's will hold all key positions in the running back contract until 2026.

Back Bill's James Cook has finalized a super contract, signing a four-year agreement worth 48 million dollars, which was confirmed on September 13, 2025. Along with the new deal, 30 million dollars are guaranteed.

As the leading rusher in the NFL with a total of 16 touchdowns in the past season, he missed four training sessions before returning to the team. After that, he took part in the first eight training sessions before starting his "hold-in" on September 3, observing the training from the sidelines.

Cook's new contract is the sixth largest in the NFL for running backs, as his average salary will be 12 million dollars per year. Although the deal did not reach Cook's desired 15 million dollars per year, both parties were interested in a long-term agreement.

This contract is an important moment for Bill's, as this is the first instance where the team signed a lucrative second contract for a running back that they drafted. After signing Cook, all running backs at Bill's will have contracts in place until 2026.

Bill's will begin their regular season in 2025 with a home match against the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday evening.
