Chiefs S Bryan Cook's Free Agency Value Questioned Despite Growth, High Salary Projections

Kansas City Chiefs safety Bryan Cook is poised for free agency, with some analysts suggesting he could "break the bank," potentially commanding over $14 million per season. While teammate Nick Bolton noted Cook's year-to-year growth, his career stats, including never reaching 90 tackles and a 2025 passer rating against of 128.5 (his second-best), raise questions about his projected top-10 safety salary. His market value may heavily depend on the overall talent pool at safety.
