James Cook was not in the Buffalo Bills training on Sunday. For this reason, the running back did no secret.
“Business,” James Cook told “ESPN”, which is why he did not participate in Buffalo Bills training on Sunday. When asked whether he was there again on Monday, the NFL star replied again with “Business”.
The Running Back is aiming for a new contract with the Buffalo Bills. Cook would now go to the last year of his rookie contract and earn a little more than five million US dollars.
“My understanding of the current situation is that the parties have been in negotiations for a long time and have not been far apart, but it is something like a Fourth-and-goal in the AFC Championship Game. Will James Cook bring it to the finish line? Will the Bills be able to contribute to supporting this?” Order Tom Pelissero from the “NFL Network”.
“It is not the case that the negotiations have failed. It makes sense that as long as James Cook has these contract negotiations float not to let him train if he cannot only concentrate on the football. We have often seen that there is any injuries in the NFL,” said the journalist in terms of the situation.
