Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is entering a fate-deciding contract year. If Walker produced a better campaign in 2024, he would have potentially positioned himself for an extension this offseason. Instead, the former Michigan State standout rushed for a career-low 573 yards and a personal-worst 3.7 yards per carry.

Running backs James Cook and Kyren Williams recently signed new contracts. Breece Hall may be the next dynamic runner to get paid, but the Jets back isn’t focused on that.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has agreed to a four-year, $48 million extension with the franchise, which includes $30 million guaranteed, per ESPN's Adam Schefter and multiple reports. Cook attended mandatory mini camp earlier this summer and decided to end his "hold-in" on Tuesday as a full participant in practice this preseason.
