Cook tied the franchise record for most rushing touchdowns in a single season with 16 in 2024, and reached the 1,000-yard mark for a second straight season. He became Buffalo’s go-to early-down runner over the last two seasons and helped transform the Bills’ rushing attack into an incredibly efficient unit.

Bills running back James Cook has ended his contract standoff by signing a four-year deal, Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane said Wednesday. Cook’s deal will pay him $48 million over the four years, two people with knowledge of the agreement confirmed to The Associated Press.
