The Buffalo Bills are not close to reaching a deal with running back James Cook and will head into the season without a new contract.

One of the big reasons that the Buffalo Bills had as much success as they did this past season was the emergence of James Cook into a touchdown-scoring machine. But that emergence also means that he's outperformed his rookie contract.

James Cook's contract standoff with the Bills is only getting worse. And might get uglier once offseason activities begin. ... and yes, "stuff's about to go down.'' And "something is not right.''
