The future of James Cook with the Buffalo Bills remains a complete mystery, although the team is reportedly already considering an alternative to fill the significant void that the star running back could leave. If he departs, Josh Allen will surely miss him greatly.

In this scenario, the option of a free agent player with proven talent over the years in the NFL emerges.

The Buffalo Bills should consider signing J.K. Dobbins

James Cook is one of the notable absentees from the Bills‘ voluntary workouts, and there is concern that he may continue to stay away until he secures the contract he is seeking. Thus, it’s time to take action.

It’s no secret that Cook is a key piece of the offense, and while Ray Davis or Ty Johnson are good running backs, neither is guaranteed to deliver the offensive production needed.

According to information from Cory Woodroof of For The Win, he believes the team should sign former Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins in free agency.

“With the future of James Cook in Buffalo uncertain due to contract issues, Dobbins would be an excellent depth piece for the Bills’ ground game after his resurgent 2024 season with the Los Angeles Chargers,” Woodroof writes. “If Cook holds out for any period of time, Dobbins could honestly start for Buffalo if needed. At worst, he fills a valuable role as a rotational running back for a Super Bowl contender.”

After dealing with multiple injuries in recent years, Dobbins finally managed to stay healthy for most of the 2024 season and had an outstanding performance, rushing for 905 yards and nine touchdowns, while also adding 153 receiving yards.

According to Spotrac, the former Chargers running back is projected to land a two-year, $8.1 million contract, though with free agency this far along, it will be challenging for him, which works in the Bills’ favor.

‘Big deal’ for Lando but ‘not enough’ for Max – Did Singapore swing title race?

Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen were upstaged at the Singapore Grand Prix, but their finishing positions behind George Russell had significant implications in Formula 1's 2025 title race.Going into the weekend, the focus was on whether championship leader Piastri and his McLaren team-mate and nearest challenger Norris could respond to the successive victories Red Bull's Verstappen had claimed in Italy and Azerbaijan. Instead, Russell overcame illness and a crash in Friday practice to take a stunning pole position, which set up a straightforward victory on Sunday for the Mercedes driver with overtaking remaining almost impossible at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.The only real drama of the race came on the first lap and featured all three title contenders, as Norris surged from fifth on the grid to third by getting the other Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli off the […]
