Which is what the agent should be pushing for. If I'm Beane, though, that $15 million goes to the offensive line and turn to the next man up. $15M for a running back, right now, is HOF back money (Barkley and McCaffrey); I'm not sure Cook is on that level.
Yay, compensatory pick...

James Cook played slightly less than 50% of offensive snaps in 2024 and was outside the top 15 in the NFL in rushing attempts and rushing yards.
Explain to me the logic that says that he should get the 2nd biggest RB contract in the league like I'm 5 years old.

The Jets recently told quarterback Aaron Rodgers that they're moving on.

Listening to Locked on Bills episode for this morning.
The Eagles had a grand total of 0 playoff wins in the first 7 seasons that Howie Roseman was GM. And they stuck with him and let him learn and evolve.
Some fans wanted Nick Siriani fired early this season.
It's funny how the narrative around those two has changed.

Sirianni was literally public enemy #1 last year with Eagles fans. Thousands of comments and posts about how he's an idiot who ruined the team etc etc.

And it flared up earlier this season when he chirped some home fans after the game.
Plenty of fans were calling for him to be fired if he didn't apologize. Which, given the history of behavior of Philly fans, was hilarious to me. The definition of "I can dish it out, but I can't take it."

Too bad Cook's walk year doesn't match up with this insane RB draft class. Hard to say goodbye to Ty or Ray to make room for a rookie this year.
Oh well, the flood of RB talent into the league this year will push someone to us when we let Cook walk.

If Cook intends to holdout from camp and Maxx Crosby instigates a trade out of Vegas....
I love Cook, but he hasn't earned top of the market.
If Cook stays healthy, in this offense, he can probably go out at get 15M (or more) as a free agent, depending on next year.
But, he has to weigh that against
A) The long term risk. All running backs are one bad cut from blowing out their knee and being, effectively, done in the NFL.
B) Does he want to get paid or does he want to win? Saquon to the Eagles was a. pretty rare thing. Typically championship grade teams can't give out premium contracts like that.
I'd love to keep him...but at like 10-11M per. Even give him some easy incentives to make a little more.

A little surprised they didn't get Anderson wrapped up longer term/with a payday but maybe they still eventually will. I still think he will be Edwards eventual replacement at LG.

He was an ERFA this offseason who will be a RFA next offseason.
There was absolutely no reason for the team to commit to Alec Anderson more than this at this point in time.

paying a player and making him happy to stay long term was my point. They could also get a offer sheet on him next off-season I believe ? But you are correct in saying they have control.

Didn't know that about Brown or Slayton, but I didn't look on Spotrac either. I'm good with any of the three as long as it doens't impede the defensive upgrade.
Another reason the Browns might want a post June 1st trade.

They are not getting an offer sheet on a depth OL.
There is no upside to having his cap hit be significantly more than his ERFA tender.

"Eric Cartman?"
$15M was the opening ante. No one takes the opening ante unless it is fair value. I'm confident the value the Bills will need to ponder will be closer to either your, or others on this board, estimates. Not to be cliche, but "trust the process".
I think you two are agreeing. They can sign him long term now that the ERFA contract for next year is signed. There was no reason (e.g., career ending injury risk) for the Bills to sign him long-term before now, or even to do it "soon" now that he has re-signed, etc. And Anderson & agent should fully realize lack of a long-term contract was neither a lack of respect / desirability for Anderson nor an indication of organizational cheapness.
