Stephen Jones has said the franchise plans to have contract talks with four or five players, likely including cornerstones Micah Parsons and Tyler Smith.

A year after Ferguson was drafted, the Cowboys selected tight end Luke Schoonmaker in the second round of the 2023 draft. At the time, Ferguson only had 19 receptions for 174 yards his rookie year. Dalton Schultz was the starter that season but the Cowboys moved on from him.

The Dallas Cowboys have signed tight end Jake Ferguson to a four-year, $52 million extension with a $12 million signing bonus.
