Bills

• Bills GM Brandon Beane understands that RB James Cook is looking to be paid and wants both sides to be on the same page: “James is a competitive dude, he’s a stud, he’s a great teammate.” (Katherine Fitzgerald)
• Beane says he’s “hopeful” that this time next year Cook will still be with the team when training camp begins. (Fitzgerald)
• Per the wire, the Bills worked out TE Gerrit Prince, TE Matt Sokol, TE Steven Stilianos, and WR David White.

Dolphins

• New Dolphins TE Darren Waller spent time away from football working on himself and his sobriety: “A lot of times the way I was walking and was preaching wasn’t the way I was practicing.” (Cameron Wolfe)
• Waller understands there are times he’s going to be asked to get his hands dirty, and said he’s willing to do whatever is needed as a blocker. (Joe Schad)

• Dolphins OL Liam Eichenberg is “weeks” away from a return from the PUP list, per McDaniel, and there is no official timeline. (Louis-Jacques)
