Reacting to the play, Dalvin suggested James is worth a $20 million average salary:

Dalvin “4️⃣” Cook @dalvincook

$20M / year 💰 https://t.co/AkJJQdn8TB

The younger Cook is signed with Buffalo through the 2025 season, but it stands to reason he and his representatives will angle for a long-term extension. During the regular season, the 2023 Pro Bowler ran for 1,009 yards and matched O.J. Simpson’s franchise record for rushing touchdowns (16).

If Dalvin thinks his brother can get $20 million a year, then he hasn’t been paying attention to the running back market.

San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey nearly matches that figure with a $19 million average salary, but there’s a wild gulf between he the second-highest-paid operating again (Jonathan Taylor, $14 million). The Philadelphia Eagles’ Saquon Barkley is subsequent on the listing at $12.6 million.

Spotrac pegs James Prepare dinner’s worth at $35.8 million over 4 years. That is a far cry from a $20 million AAV.

However any good negotiator will inform you to begin excessive since there’s extra room to cut price down. If Prepare dinner and his agent begin at $20 million with the Payments, then they will have rather a lot of room.
