Cowboys Sign TE Jake Ferguson to $52M Extension Amid Micah Parsons Contract Wait
The Dallas Cowboys have signed tight end Jake Ferguson to a four-year extension worth $52–$53 million, making him the highest-paid tight end in franchise history and ranking him among the top ten at his position league-wide. Ferguson, a 2022 fourth-round draft pick, has become a reliable target for quarterback Dak Prescott and earned praise from new head coach Brian Schottenheimer for his leadership and preparation, despite an injury-plagued 2024 season. The contract includes a $12 million signing bonus and $30–$32 million guaranteed, providing Dallas with $1.8 million in additional cap space for 2025. Meanwhile, the contract situation with All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons remains unresolved, sparking frustration among fans and ongoing debate within the organization, as Parsons seeks to become the NFL's highest-paid defender. The Cowboys’ decision to prioritize Ferguson’s extension has momentarily shifted focus from the Parsons negotiations, but the pressure remains on owner Jerry Jones to address key expiring contracts as the team aims to break its decades-long postseason drought. The extension reflects Dallas's continued emphasis on developing offensive weapons, while leaving significant questions about the future of its defensive cornerstone.
