Orchard Park, New York — September 13, 2025, the Buffalo Bills officially announced the signing of a contract with running back James Cook for four years totaling 48 million dollars, of which 30 million is guaranteed. The agreement secures his presence with the team until the 2029 season.

As he did last season, having rushed 1009 yards on 207 attempts and scored 16 touchdowns, which became a record for the team and a demonstration of the highest level in the league. This underscores why Buffalo decided to invest in him, regardless of the overall stagnation of the league towards high salaries for running backs.

Prior to signing the contract, Cook participated in several training sessions and the first preseason game, but his return to training became a decisive moment in the final negotiations. General manager of the team Brandon Beane emphasized the importance of supporting the team and players to achieve a common goal.

As he recently stated, there were still unresolved issues regarding his role in the team, but his signing of the contract became an important step in stabilizing the team, which aims to compete for the Super Bowl in the upcoming years.

Quarterback Josh Allen, who supported the agreement, published news about the signing without comments, demonstrating his supportive stance on the situation.
