Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is in Buffalo and participating in the Buffalo Bills' minicamp.

There was plenty of speculation that Cook would skip the minicamp because he wants a new deal from the Buffalo Bills.

Cook is in the final year of his rookie contract and wants a new deal worth around $15 million dollars per year. The Bills have balked at paying that much for now.

Why Is James Cook At Minicamp?

The answer is simple: money. Cook was asked by reporters why he showed up to minicamp and said, "I like my Money."


The big question is, is Cook worth the contract he wants? In his career in Buffalo, he has rushed for over 2600 yards, scored 20 touchdowns, and has been a force in the playoffs.

Last season in the playoffs, he rushed for 272 yards and three touchdowns in three playoff games. He also caught six passes for 64 yards.
