Cook said during a podcast appearance with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson that "I just want to get what I deserve." As for what that means, well, Cook previously hinted during an Instagram Live session that what he's looking for is $15 million per year.

Cook is highly valued by head coach Sean McDermott and offensive coordinator Joe Brady. He was the Bills' only 1,000 yard player from scrimmage (and the team's only 830 yard player, for that matter). He has shown to be an incredible talent in the NFL, showcased by his two Pro Bowl appearances.

James Cook is entering the final year of his rookie contract, which is why he has sent a strong warning to the Buffalo Bills about his future with the team.
