The Dallas Cowboys are emerging as the frontrunners in the race to acquire a discontented running back. James Cook of the Buffalo Bills has been attending training camp but is not participating in practice sessions, a move that helps him avoid fines. He has publicly stated that his absence is due to "business reasons." Meanwhile, betting site Bovada has posted odds favoring the Cowboys as the most likely new team for Cook, with NFC East rival Washington following closely.
The current odds for Cook's potential debut game with his new team are as follows:
- Dallas Cowboys: +175
- Washington Commanders: +245
- Chicago Bears: +325
- Carolina Panthers: +450
- Las Vegas Raiders: +500
- Kansas City Chiefs: +500
Last season, the Cowboys parted ways with Rico Dowdle, who led the team with 1,079 rushing yards and scored 2 touchdowns. The team’s total rushing yardage was 1,705 yards with 6 touchdowns. In contrast, Cook’s individual stats last season were 1,009 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, earning him Pro Bowl honors in consecutive seasons.
