Bills quarterback Josh Allen shows off new ring following marriage to actor Hailee Steinfeld

Josh Allen’s broad grin was familiar. The wedding band on the quarterback’s ring finger was brand new. The Buffalo Bills star is a newlywed after marrying actor/singer Hailee Steinfeld in Southern California on May 31. In attempting to keep the focus on football, Allen had little to say about this wedding day. He finally opened up when assessing a four-month stretch that included him being named NFL MVP and signing a lucrative contract extension. He called Steinfeld his best friend, and said she makes everything easier.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook in attendance for team’s mandatory practice amid contract concerns

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook put aside his contract concerns — and avoided the potential of being fined — by attending the start of the team’s three-day mandatory series of practices. Coach Sean McDermott says “I respect his decision to be here and be amongst the team.” Cook’s attendance comes after he went public with his desire to negotiate a contract extension while entering the fourth and final year of his rookie deal. Cook skipped Buffalo’s six previous spring practices and workout sessions, all of which were voluntary. Cook was selected by Buffalo in the second round of the 2022 draft out of Georgia.

The Bills signed Bosa to a one-year, $12.6 million contract in March in the hopes that he can reestablish himself as one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers. Also, McDermott said running back James Cook was the only player not in attendance. Cook is seeking an extension to his contract, which expires after this upcoming season.
