Bills' James Cook firm on contract demands at training camp: 'I deserve what I want'
Nick Wright reacts to Sean McDermott admitting he told the Buffalo Bills to expect no calls against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship, calling it a loser’s behavior.
James Cook may be present at Buffalo Bills training camp this week, but he won’t be backing down when it comes to contract negotiations with the franchise.
Cook, the NFL's leader in rushing touchdowns last season, made his stance clear after participating in the first two days of camp.
"We have talks," he said, via ESPN. "I mean, I deserve what I want, I need, and it’s going to eventually happen."

Reporters followed up, asking Cook if he feels confident the Bills will meet his contract extension demands.
"I mean, however it happens, it’s going to get done. Wherever it happens at," he said.
The 25-year-old doesn’t lack confidence, and that was seen this offseason when he went live on Instagram with a caption of "15 mill [per] year."

Cook has posted previously on social media about his contract situation, and he noted Thursday he has no regrets about going public with how he feels.
Bills GM Brandon Beane discussed Cook’s situation with reporters at the start of training camp.
"Sometimes you can't get on the same page, or sometimes you're trying to fit it in," Beane explained, per
