"In an offseason with big questions at wide receiver, running back, and perhaps the offensive line, it's nice that the Cowboys can feel comfortable about their tight ends. With a reliable starter and legitimate competition for the backup job, Dallas can afford to give less attention to the position and direct resources to more critical needs in 2026. Jake Ferguson - Ferguson bounced back in 2025 to the form that got him a multi-year contract."
"He finished third among all TEs in catches, with a fantastic 80% success rate on receptions when targeted. He also posted a career-high eight touchdowns, tied for third league-wide and more than doubling his career total from previous seasons. You'd like to see more RAC from Ferguson, but he fulfills his primary role as a reliable chain-mover. Costing well below the likes of George Kittle and Trey McBride, Ferguson has strong value as a Pro Bowl-worthy starter."
Jake Ferguson returned to 2025 form, finishing third among tight ends in catches, with an 80% success rate on targets and a career-high eight touchdowns. He remains a cost-effective Pro Bowl‑caliber starter compared to elite peers. Luke Schoonmaker is on the final year of his rookie deal and faces pressure from undrafted Brevyn Spann‑Ford, who matched Schoonmaker's snaps late in 2025 and showed superior blocking. No other tight ends are listed as 2026 free agents; practice‑squad options like Princeton Fant were not retained. The tight end room appears stable, allowing focus on more pressing positional needs.
