Over the last few months, the Buffalo Bills and running back James Cook have been in a contract stand-off of sorts.
Cook wants to be paid among the highest at his position with reports stating that the former Georgia product is asking for a deal that pays him around $15 million annually - one of the higher deals for a runner.
Buffalo, meanwhile, doesn't have the cap space. (And/or doesn't want to spend that much dough.)
While the stand-off is one of the biggest stories of this offseason, that doesn't mean either side is giving up hope of reconciliation. Especially since Cook was recently in a video that should provide some encouragement for the fanbase moving forward.
In a video with streamer, N3ON, Cook had NFL logos on a table in front of him. Cook sorted through to find the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins logos, and ripped them in half. He added the Chiefs logo later for good measure.

It shows that Cook is still loyal to the Bills, even if the organization isn't being entirely loyal to him. As Buffalo moves forward this draft season, they have already put the Cook negotiation on the back burners.
"I don't see us getting something done anytime soon," Bills general manager Brandon Beane said at the NFL annual meeting in Palm Beach, Florida. "We're on to the draft. Just because we don't get something done this year doesn't mean we can't get something done before he's a free agent."
At least this latest must-watch clip should show that Cook is still willing to be a member of the Bills moving forward.
