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 running back James Cook isn't practicing with his contract under the spotlight, but the team's star player knows how important it will be to have him back on the field.

Pro bowl running back James Cook has recently started holding himself out of training camp practices as he seeks a new contract from the team. To this day, it has still not come. And that day we speak of is Thursday, the 12th outing of Bills training camp and the last session out at St. John Fisher University in Rochester.
