Bills' James Cook Bullish On New Contract: 'It's Going To Happen!'

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is still without his new contract, with the Pro Bowler now showing the franchise he means business by participating in training camp.

There was a thought that the running back, who is seeking a new deal at roughly $15 million APY might hold out in an attempt to push through a contract, but Cook was never going to do that.

As camp got underway, Cook detailed why he chose to participate at training camp.

"It's my job," Cook said. " I got to participate so I won't get fined, just come out here and show them that I'm ready to go and earn what I got to go get."

Given that the "saga" has now dragged on for most of the offseason, it might get a little bit tiresome to be constantly fighting to get what he feels he deserves.

Set to play on the final year of his rookie contract, Cook, ideally, would like a new deal before the season starts, but even after months of no movement, don't think James is throwing in the towel.

"We have talks, I'm never going to give up, I deserve what I want, it's going to eventually happen," Cook added.

Given Buffalo has a little under $1 million in cap space, there isn't much wriggle room for the franchise to get a deal done with Cook this offseason.

Is the running back willing to wait?

"I want to be here, I want to spend the rest of my career here," he said.

Yeah, we think he'll wait.
