The Dallas Cowboys have finally put their money where their mouth when it comes to one of their star players. Just days into training camp, Dallas has locked up a key piece for the foreseeable future.
However, it wasn’t Micah Parsons.
Breaking: Cowboys Sign Star To Massive 4-Year Contract (Report)
It was a busy week at training camp for the Dallas Cowboys. However, it is not the deal fans were hoping for:
The Cowboys announced Sunday morning that they have signed tight end Jake Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million extension. All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons, meanwhile, remains without a deal as he seeks an extension entering the final year of his rookie contract.
The deal for Ferguson makes him the highest-paid tight end in Cowboys history and the seventh-highest paid TE in the NFL, according to the Cowboys. He signed the extension with one year remaining on his four-year rookie contract that’s scheduled to pay him $3.4 million in 2025.
A fourth-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, Ferguson was a part-time starter as a rookie and has been Dallas’ No. 1 tight end in the two seasons since. He emerged as one of quarterback Dak Prescott’s favorite targets in 2023 with 71 catches for 761 yards and five touchdowns.
Ferguson’s production dropped last season as he tallied 59 catches for 494 yards without a touchdown. That still led Cowboys tight ends and was good for the third-highest production among all Cowboys pass catchers behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert.
The Cowboys bolstered their receiving corps with the addition of former Pittsburgh Steeler George Pickens in the offseason. Ferguson projects to remain as a top target for Prescott.
