Cowboys Agree to Extension with Jake Ferguson on Team-Friendly Contract

Jun 18, 2025

Dallas, TX – June 18, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys have locked in a key piece of their offensive arsenal, agreeing to a team-friendly contract extension with tight end Jake Ferguson, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday. The deal underscores the Cowboys’ commitment to building a championship contender as they aim for Super Bowl LX.

Ferguson, 26, signed a four-year, $52 million extension, with an average annual value of $13 million, dispelling rumors of a $60 million pact. The contract, featuring $30 million guaranteed, positions Ferguson among the top-paid tight ends while preserving cap space for a Cowboys team with lofty aspirations.

The 6-foot-5, 250-pound pass-catcher expressed his gratitude, telling reporters, “Dallas believed in me from day one, and I want to bring a ring to this city. We’re building something special, and I’m all in.” His words ignited a surge of excitement across Cowboys Nation.

Selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Ferguson emerged as a reliable target for Dak Prescott, hauling in 71 receptions for 761 yards and five touchdowns in 2024. His PFF grade of 78.3 ranked him among the top 10 tight ends league-wide, per Pro Football Reference. Ferguson’s blend of sure hands and physicality bolstered a Cowboys offense that ranked sixth in passing yards (4,200) in 2024.

The extension ensures Ferguson avoids free agency in 2026, securing him before his market value could skyrocket. General Manager Jerry Jones lauded Ferguson’s growth, stating, “Jake’s a cornerstone of our offense. His toughness and reliability are what we’re about.”

The Cowboys’ passing game, led by CeeDee Lamb and supported by Brandin Cooks, gains stability with Ferguson’s presence. His deal sidesteps the $17 million annual cost of elite tight end contracts, like that of Kansas City’s Travis Kelce, while locking in a proven starter.

With $18 million in cap space (per Over The Cap), the extension reflects Jones’ shrewd financial strategy. Head coach Mike McCarthy called it “a massive win for our offense,” highlighting Ferguson’s role in opening lanes for Tony Pollard’s 1,200-yard rushing season in 2024.

Fans flooded X with enthusiasm, posting, “Ferguson locked up? Dak’s got his guy for years! ⭐” Others declared, “Jerry’s cooking—Super Bowl bound!” The move even caught the eye of NFC East rivals, with one Eagles fan tweeting, “Cowboys’ offense just got tougher to stop.”

As training camp approaches, Ferguson’s commitment fuels Dallas’ championship dreams. Can he help lead the Cowboys to their first Super Bowl since 1995? Follow ESPN for the latest updates.

Foxborough – November 20, 2025 Double joy is spreading throughout New England as, according to reliable sources, the young quarterback Drake Maye has just received news that his wife, Ann Michael Maye, is pregnant with their first child right before the matchup with the Bengals. That timing made the Patriots locker room light up a beat brighter, because it arrived exactly when Maye is maturing strongly and becoming the new hope at Foxborough. Maye and Ann Michael's love story began during their University of North Carolina days, where they met at a sports event and quickly became each other's emotional support through every season. The two stayed bonded throughout the time Maye entered the NFL, facing the enormous pressures of early life. From simple love, they progressed to a warm wedding in early 2025, marking a brilliant new chapter. The joy becomes even more special as the couple is said to have thought about the baby's name, and this choice has stirred up Patriots Nation. According to close sources, if it's a boy, Maye wants to name it related to “Fox,” implying Foxborough, the first home of his NFL career. And if it's a girl, Ann Michael really likes the name “Patria,” carrying the meaning of loyalty and connection. Both names are making fans excited because they clearly bear the Patriots imprint. In the most recent press conference, Drake Maye couldn't hide his emotions when mentioning the first child about to be born. A moment that made all the reporters pause in silence for a few seconds. “I’ve dreamed about this day for a long time. And it’s truly special that it comes right when I’m fighting for this jersey. The Patriots gave me the first chance in life, and I want my child’s name to carry a part of this city’s spirit. The spirit that changed my life.” That sharing immediately spread throughout Patriots Nation. As the Patriots step into the week matchup with the Bengals, the story about the Maye family becomes a huge source of energy for the entire team. New England fans are not only following every play of Maye’s, but also following a new, deeply meaningful journey unfolding in his life. And whether the baby will be a boy or a girl, the name that Drake and Ann Michael choose will surely carry a part of the Patriots soul, making Foxborough feel extended by one more generation of love.
