🛑 Amari Cooper and James Cook Staggering Bonuses Revealed as They Overcome the Ravens in Divisional Playoff Game. Josh Allen Doubles That
The Buffalo Bills triumphed over the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Playoff Game, and while fans celebrated the victory, it’s the bonuses for players that are raising eyebrows—and a few sarcastic laughs. Amari Cooper and James Cook both walked away with staggering bonuses that, let’s be honest, make most of us wonder if we chose the wrong career.
Cooper, who made a couple of decent catches, and Cook, who ran the ball a handful of times, pocketed performance bonuses that could make anyone’s jaw drop. “Staggering,” they say, though some might argue the real “staggering” was watching the Ravens’ defense try to contain Josh Allen. Spoiler: they didn’t.
Speaking of Allen, the Bills quarterback, who led the charge and carried the team on his back (literally and metaphorically), earned a bonus that dwarfed Cooper’s and Cook’s combined. Double the amount, because apparently, the NFL decided that touchdowns and winning games are worth a bit more than running sideways or standing around on the field.
Fans on social media had their fun, pointing out that Allen’s paycheck wasn’t just double—it was deserved. “At least he did something,” one fan quipped. Another joked, “Cooper should send Allen a thank-you card with his bonus.”
While some argue these bonuses highlight the absurdity of NFL contracts, others say, “Who cares? The Bills are moving on, and we’ll take it!” Either way, Amari Cooper and James Cook better enjoy their bonuses while they can—next week’s game might not be so generous.
Stay tuned, folks. The playoffs aren’t just about football anymore; they’re about who can cash in the most for doing the least. 🤑
