Contract details: Former Georgia RB James Cook signs with Bills

Former Georgia running back James Cook signed his rookie NFL contract with the Buffalo Bills over the weekend.

Per Sportrac, the second round draft pick Cook signed a four-year contract worth $5,832,057 with a signing bonus of $1,421,496.

Cook has a chance to play early for a Buffalo team that has no true No. 1 guy at the running back position.

He brings a versatility that can be dangerous to an already exciting Bills offense.

“I’m versatile, you know? I can do it all,” Cook said in his first media appearance as a Bill. “I can play in the slot. I can play out wide. I can run between the tackles. So I just feel like I can do it all and I’m versatile.”

Cook emerged as a weapon in UGA’s national championship season as a runner and a pass catcher.

The Florida native and brother of Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had big performances in the national semifinal and title game for the Dawgs.
