"The Dallas Cowboys kept three tight ends on the roster in 2025. All three of them did something not seen from the tight end room since 2020. All three stayed healthy and played in every regular season game. The recently concluded season was also the first since 2020 when the Cowboys only needed three tight ends for the entire year."
"He matched his career high in targets with 102 and set a career high with 82 catches. While his receiving yards, 600, was 161 yards short of his 2023 career high, Ferguson set a career high in touchdowns with eight this year. Ferguson did play in all 17 games, but only started in 10. But that was more scheme than any injury holding him back."
"The second-round draft pick in 2023 regressed slightly from his 2024 numbers this year. Schoonmaker will be an unrestricted free agent after the 2026 season. He may be playing to save his spot on the roster beyond this fall. In 2025, he finished with 14 catches for 132 yards and no touchdowns. Schoonmaker had only three games with more than a single catch, getting just two receptions in all three of them."
The Cowboys retained three tight ends in 2025—Jake Ferguson, Luke Schoonmaker, and Brevyn Spann-Ford—and all three played in every regular-season game. The trio combined for 22 starts, and the offense used two-tight-end starting sets in five games. Ferguson is signed through 2029 and recorded 102 targets, 82 catches, 600 receiving yards and a career-high eight touchdowns while playing all 17 games and starting 10. Schoonmaker, a 2023 second-round pick, regressed to 14 catches for 132 yards and zero touchdowns and will be an unrestricted free agent after 2026. All three are signed for 2026.
