The Dallas Cowboys have officially extended their dependable weapon at tight end — the chain-moving, soft-handed safety valve — with a four-year, $52 million deal.  According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract extension with tight end Jake Ferguson.

Nicknamed “Mr. Reliable” in the Cowboys locker room, the 26-year-old tight end posted 59 receptions for 494 yards last season and has quietly become a cornerstone in Dallas’ offensive scheme. Ferguson, 26, was a fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin in 2022 (No. 129 overall). In 2024, he played in 14 games, hauling in 59 receptions for 494 yards on 86 targets.
