Bills’ ‘Storm Cloud’ threatening to derail the 2025 season Originally appeared on Sports Athlon.
The Buffalo Bills are about to be one of the Super Bowl contenders this coming season, but there is something that could derail their chances before a single cliché is played.

The contractual situation of the double Bowler Pro James Cook.
With nothing substantial made between the two parties, it becomes obvious that Cook is a little bored by the lack of progress. Admittedly, the lack of ceiling space (only $ 1.6 million) could be an important factor here.
However, James is considered a key member of Joe Brady’s offensive; However, Buffalo has chosen to sign a multitude of other players instead.
And Adam Schefter of ESPN offered an update on the situation, and that makes a dark reading for the mafia bills.
“I do not believe that these two parties are near an agreement at this stage”, ” Schefter said. “While we are entering a critical season for the Buffalo Bills, James Cook is one of the most important players there, and with an agreement that is not on the horizon, which is looming like a small storm cloud during the promising season which is ahead of the Buffalo Bills.”

By wanting about 15 million dollars, there does not seem to be any desire for invoices to sign Cook to this kind of agreement. At least now.

Is it problematic because can invoices win the Super Bowl without him? After consecutive seasons of 1,000 yards and a franchise record of 16 affected affected in the regular season, Cook makes his part of the heaviness.
Ray Davis and Ty Johnson are the others behind Cook, who may have to intensify, but we did not want James holding like Haason Reddick did throughout the training camp and half of the regular season last year in search of a new agreement.
But if he does it, the “little storm cloud” of Buffalo could become something much more sinister.
