Cook was in the final year of his rookie deal and stopped participating in training-camp practices as part of a hold-in earlier in August.

Buffalo and star running back James Cook agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal with $30 million guaranteed, NFL Network reported Wednesday morning. It puts an end to strange hold-in situation for the 25-year-old as he pushed to be paid like one of the league’s top backs.

The Bills and James Cook have finally agreed to terms on a $48 million contract extension after he returned to practice on Tuesday.
