Should The Bills Be Concerned About James Cook?

Should The Bills Be Concerned About James Cook?

Author: Blue Wire February 24, 2025 Duration: 1:29:47

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss several topics, including if the Buffalo Bills should be worried about James Cook's contract demands and reacting to Joe Buscaglia's Bills mock offseason story in The Athletic.

James Cook gave hints to wanting a very lucrative new contract on his Instagram recently and he definitely doubled down on that during a sports talk show appearance, saying he's standing on business. The guys discuss what they think is Cook's financial worth to the Bills and how much, if any of a problem is Cook's new public attitude going to be for the team going into next season.

Also, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic published his fully detailed annual Bills mock offseason, where he goes through every personnel move he could see the Bills making, from restructures all the way through the NFL draft. Patrick and Joe have plenty thoughts on Joe B's work, which includes a monster Myles Garrett trade and a notable wide receiver addition.

The Four Nations Face-Off was a huge victory for hockey and the guys have thoughts on that. Plus how much luck plays the ultimate role in team sports, some comments submitted by listeners answered and much more.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
