Cook, 25, is entering his fourth NFL season and the final year of his rookie contract. He's been vocal about his desire for a long-term deal with the team, having now posted back-to-back seasons with 1,200 or more scrimmage yards as a staple in the team's rushing attack along with quarterback Josh Allen. Cook posted a career-best 18 scrimmage touchdowns in 2024, which which tied to rank second in the league, only behind Detroit Lions star running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who totaled 20 on the year.
