All offseason long, the Buffalo Bills have had a contract situation brewing with running back James Cook. He wants a new deal. So far, the Bills have not been willing to pay him what he wants to receive.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is without his top running back -- on the field, at least -- as the Bills prepare for the 2025 season. James Cook is in the midst of a hold-in while angling for a new deal with Buffalo.

Bills QB Josh Allen told reporters that he "desperately" wants James Cook back on the practice field, but he's supportive of his teammate during the RB's contract dispute.
