Overview

  • The Cowboys on July 27 agreed to a four-year, $52 million extension with tight end Jake Ferguson, including a $12 million signing bonus and $30 million guaranteed.
  • Ferguson’s new contract makes him the highest-paid tight end in franchise history and ranks seventh by average annual value in the NFL.
  • By locking in Ferguson through 2029, Dallas frees up roughly $1.8 million in 2025 salary cap space ahead of other key negotiations.
  • Micah Parsons remains on his fifth-year rookie option without an extension, prompting “Pay Micah!” chants from fans at the Oxnard training camp opener.
  • Owner Jerry Jones has pointed to Parsons’ injury history while executive vice president Stephen Jones insists Parsons must agree to team terms before securing a record deal.
