With that being said, a major new update has been shared by Cook's agent. Speaking to The Athletic, Cook's agent, Zac Hiller, spoke out with a bold statement. He made it clear that his client wants to remain with the Bills moving forward.

Well, that creates the impression that the two sides are not really much closer to a contract agreement than they were months ago. Given the fact Buffalo has a little under $1 million in cap space, getting a deal done for Cook - who has suggested he's worth $15 million APY - seems a tight squeeze.

According to an NFL analyst, the Buffalo Bills and running back James Cook may be closer to reaching a deal than people think.
