Buffalo Bills running back James Cook plans to report to training camp while seeking a new contract from the team, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

Cook, who is seeking a deal worth at least $15 million per season, is set to make $5.271 million in base salary in the fourth and final year of his rookie deal in 2025. He would become an unrestricted free agent in 2026 if he doesn't get a new deal with Buffalo.

Cook did not attend the voluntary portions of Buffalo's offseason program, however he was there for minicamp.

Cook, 25, made the Pro Bowl and rushed for more than 1,000 yards for the second straight season in 2024, leading the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns.

He has rushed for 2,638 yards and 20 TDs and caught 97 passes for 883 yards and seven scores in 49 games since being drafted in the second round in 2022.
