James Cook seeks $15 million per year on an extension
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook indicated on an Instagram Live stream what he was looking for in an extension, pinning his comment “15 mill year” on his Wednesday, Feb. 12 live stream.
Fantasy Impact
Cook followed up on X (formerly known as Twitter) later, and his brother Dalvin Cook had been advocating for the Bills RB’s extension price tag throughout the NFL playoffs on X. At $15 million per year, the former Georgia back would slot just ahead of Jonathan Taylor ($14 million AAV), behind only Christian McCaffrey ($19 million AAV). Cook enters 2025 on the final year of his rookie deal, making $5.142 million in base salary.

Aaron Rodgers: Jets told veteran QB N.Y. is moving on
The New York Jets are moving on from veteran QB Aaron Rodgers, officially informing him that they plan to move forward elsewhere. Rodgers will likely be a post-June 1 cut, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Fantasy Impact
Moving on from Rodgers will lead to a dead cap hit, but by releasing him post-June 1, New York can spread that cap hit between 2025 and 2026. Currently, the Jets don’t have much of a plan at QB (Tyrod Taylor and Jordan Travis), so they could either end up as players in the veteran market or in the 2025 NFL Draft. As well, it seems likely that Davante Adams could be on the chopping block as well, among other players.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire re-signs with Saints for 2025
Veteran running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire re-signed on a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints to remain through the 2025 season.
Fantasy Impact
Edwards-Helaire, who was born in and went to college in Louisiana, is returning to New Orleans for 2025. While he was not very involved in 2024, largely due to an extended stint on the non-football illness list due to his battle with PTSD, he did return at the end of the season and could be fully ready for 2025, his sixth NFL season. He has averaged 4.2 yards per carry throughout his career and is a successful pass-catcher, providing depth behind RBs Alvin Kamara and alongside both Kendre Miller and Jamaal Williams (if he remains on the team).
