I want somebody that wants me to be there. Someone who wants to give me the ball,” said Cook, who rushed for 1,173 yards on 264 carries, and caught 39 passes for 295 yards and scored 10 touchdowns last season. “I want to be in the right situation to help somebody win. “The money is going to come,” Cook continued. “You play good and they are going to pay you. I want to go somewhere and feel like it’s home for me, go somewhere and help somebody win. Just go turn it loose. I’m looking for a home.” as of this point, a lot of teams are in it, a sort of holding pattern. No one seems to be in any rush, Cook included.

What the deal with diggs and buffalo???

What going on with Diggs and the Bills? Sean McDermott came out this morning and let reporters know that Stefon Diggs was not there during mandatory minicamp! “ Steph is not here, everyone else is here at this time… we are very concerned very concerned,” Sean McDermott. Since this revelation, there’s been conflicting reports saying that he was there for medical blah blah blah. But let’s not forget that Diggs has been expressing his displeasure with the team, the Buffalo Bills, for quite some time.With Some cryptic texts on Twitter, Liking people saying he’s going to end up on other football teams, Liking his brothers tweet asking him to come be on Dallas. And let’s also not forget how Stefon Diggs ended up in Buffalo. He pretty much tweeted his way out of Minnesota to end up in Buffalo. This sounds like a guy who when he’s not getting his way, will make sure to get his way somewhere else. It’s not that he’s not getting the money, it’s not that he’s not getting the targets, it’s that he’s not getting the wins he wants. To me this sounds like a spoiled person. ‘Me me Me me, I want the bag. I want the winds. I want the glory. I want to target. I want it all.’ Now I’m not saying this isn’t a quality I don’t want in my wide receivers. But at this point, he is showing a complete toxic behavior. And the Buffalo Bills could be soon asking themselves “did we bite off more than we can chew“. One things for sure, the Buffalo Bills, and Stefon Diggs displeasure in them, has just begun.
