APDerrick Henry has received a massive new contract from the Baltimore Ravens[/caption] APJames Cook is looking for a similar contract[/caption]Henry is obviously one of the top running backs in the NFL, and he is being paid accordingly by the Ravens.
The two parties are in agreement on a two-year, $30 million deal after Henry’s spectacular 2024 campaign.
Henry rushed for over 1,900 yards with 16 rushing touchdowns.
He also had 193 receiving yards with two more touchdowns.
Henry was a Pro Bowler, All-Pro, and finished fourth in voting for Offensive Player of the Year.
Despite his strong year, the Ravens only made it to the divisional round of he playoffs.
Still, he is a key part of the Ravens offense and is being rewarded for it.
Cook shared a message of support for his fellow running back, tweeting “Congratulations!” after the contract was announced.
The Buffalo Bills running back is putting on a brave face as he sees other running backs getting big contracts, but he is working on getting his own extension.
Cook broke out as a top running back in 2024, rushing for 1,009 yards with 16 touchdowns.
However, he is going into the 2025 season on the last year of his contract.
Cook’s rookie deal expires at the end of this season, and he is seeking a massive contract extension.
He is demanding the same amount of annual money as Henry on a new contract, and the Bills have yet to budge on this demand.
Cook is six years younger than Henry, but he is not quite on the same level of production as him.

The Bills don’t seem interested in discussing an extension with Cook right now, instead hoping to talk at a later point.
“I love Jimbo. Proud of his success just like these other guys that we got extended,” general manager Brandon Beane said, via WKBW.
“I don’t talk about negotiations. I would say his reps and him did put it out there that we did talk, so I’m not sharing anything new.
“It didn’t lead to anything as far as closing in on a deal, so we moved onto the guys that we were on the same page with.
“At this points, we’re onto the draft.. I don’t see us doing any deals anytime soon.”
