Bills-Bears blockbuster trade proposal adds 18-TD missing piece to Chicago’s offense
The Chicago Bears have been looking to upgrade at running back and a disgruntled Buffalo Bills star could be an option for them if he’s made available.
While James Cook did show up to mandatory minicamp this week, he did not take part in practice as he continues to seek a new contract from the Buffalo Bills.
Unfortunately for Buffalo, things are looking very shaky with its star running back who, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, is “unhappy” and has “disconnected” himself from the team and community.
After that report, Locked on Bills host Joe Marino shared the belief that Cook may not want to stayin Buffalo, period, and perhaps he’s trying to force his way out.
Sorting through what’s noise and what’s reality in these types of situations can be difficult, no doubt, but all signs point to this situation between Cook and Buffalo ending badly.
And that has led to analysts firing away with trade proposals that see Cook jettisoned elsewhere. One of those proposals comes from On SI’s Dave Holcomb, who has the Bills sending Cook to Chicago.
“D’Andre Swift will return as Chicago’s top running back,” Holcomb wrote. “Last season, he gained 959 yards on the ground. But his efficiency was terrible, as he averaged 3.8 yards per carry.
