Cook knows that his status as an early-down rusher hurts his ability to negotiate a long-term deal, and he aims to change that, telling The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia that he hopes to “get more involved in the pass game instead of the run game.” The Bills’ three-player rotation “led to Cook receiving under 50 percent of offensive snaps in his games played, despite his breakout statistical season.” Both Ray Davis and Ty Johnson are heavily involved in the offense, and Johnson, specifically, out-snapped Cook on third down, 149-to-27. “Just being out there on third downs” would go a long way toward proving his value. Cook faces an uphill battle in this endeavor, but should he successfully unseat Johnson for the role, both his future salary and projectable fantasy output would stand to benefit.
