Buffalo Bills RB James Cook did not report for the start of the offseason program on Tuesday, April 22.
Huddle Up: It would not be a surprise if Cook misses the bulk of spring work as he continues his quest to push for a contract extension that pays at least $15 million per season. In the meantime, expect Ray Davis to get the bulk of first-team work and make his case for more touches in 2025.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook will play for the team next season regardless of the wide gap in contract extension negotiations, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: Cook, who is due to make $5.3 million in 2025, is reportedly asking for $15 million per season. The 25-year-old should be one of the more attractive free agents in the event he reaches the open market next offseason, although it would be a shock if it happens. Either way, it appears he can be counted on to handle his usual 15 or so touches each week and serve as a low-end fantasy RB1.

Huddle Up: Cook was a touchdown machine in the regular season, and there is no reason to believe that won't continue into the playoffs. For fantasy purposes, Cook will be a high-round pick in postseason fantasy pools, and he is an outstanding DFS option in the first round.
