Bills General Manager Brandon Beane said this week that the team wants to have running back James Cook on the team beyond the 2025 season, but making that happen will require the use of a franchise tag or an agreement on a long-term contract.

It's been quite a challenging few months for the Buffalo Bills and their star running back James Cook. After back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, the former Georgia product has been looking for a long-term extension with the team.

The Bills general manager appeared on "The Pat McAfee Show" and said James Cook will be in Buffalo "this year, and hopefully beyond."
