Cook left the comment under a JPAFootball post on Instagram and ended up unfollowing the Bills on the platform while also removing all of his Bills-related posts.
Cook, heading into the final year of his rookie deal, will earn $5.142 million this upcoming season.
If the Bills give Cook the deal he’s looking for, he would be the second highest-paid running back in the league (per year) behind San Francisco 49ers’ running back Cristian McCaffrey, who is currently averaging $19 million per year.
Cook has a pretty good case to make for a massive extension. He’s coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons for the Bills and was tied for first among all running backs with 16 rushing touchdowns this past season, the other two being Baltimore Ravens’ Derrick Henry and Detroit Lions’ Jahmyr Gibbs.
Cook is the Bills’ first 1,000-yard rusher since LeSean McCoy also went back-to-back in 2016 and 2017.
His 16 rushing touchdowns tied a Bills’ single-season franchise record that was set by O.J. Simpson in 1975.
