Cook, 26, will receive $40.25 million over three years. The safety played in all 34 games for the Chiefs the past two seasons. He finished the 2025 season with a career-high 85 tackles and six pass deflections, ranking sixth among 98 qualified safeties in pass coverage (83.2) and 15th in run defense (80.1).
