00:00James Cook, Buffalo Bills, great season last year.

00:02Running backs got to capitalize, got to make that money when he can.

00:05Other running backs are getting second contracts on top of those big contracts that we saw last year.

00:11That's Derrick Henry.

00:12And, of course, you know the drill in Philadelphia with Saquon Barkley.

00:15James Cook showed up to camp.

00:16He just wants his money.

00:17They were close to an agreement.

00:18It felt like not anymore.

00:20Business decisions being made now for James Cook on,

00:23I'm not hurting myself when I'm up for a contract right now.

00:25I'll sit this one out until you pay me what I'm worth.

00:28Yeah, listen, he's done everything right to this point,

00:32but you also had to figure if he doesn't have a contract after eight days of practice,

00:37heading into your first preseason game where you got to throw the pads on

00:40and you're getting risk of injury goes through the roof,

00:44you got to make a business decision, Donnie.

00:46I don't fault the player in this in any way, shape, or form.

00:49He's done everything right to this point and still is waiting for the Bills to show up

00:54and give him a contract here, which I think we can all agree,

00:58he's probably worth it.
