"I just feel like we're deserving of it. Like, why not? We work all of our life to get paid. Feed me the big bucks," Cook said. "I want to go chase the highest of the highest, and I'm going to keep doing it. I'm going to stand on what I stand on. And I don't want to feel like a cancer at all. Because I don't like all that attention and all that. That's not me, honestly. I'm just standing on business and what I deserve. That's it. What I deserve." Cook is coming off a season where he totaled over 1,200 yards from scrimmage and tied for the league-high of 16 rushing touchdowns. He is heading into his age 26 season.
