What happened: Yahoo Sports reports that the trade price for Bills running back James Cook is coming in lower than expected around the league. Cook remains on Buffalo's roster as the situation develops.

Why it matters: A lower-than-expected price tag on a running back who has been a functional piece of Buffalo's offense says more about the league's broader devaluation of the position than it does about Cook's actual output. If that's the going rate, the Bills have no incentive to move him for less than he's worth to their own backfield.
