Cowboys agree to three-year extension with TE Brevyn Spann-Ford
The Cowboys have agreed to terms with backup tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford on a three-year extension, his agent, Mike McCartney, announced on social media. Spann-Ford was scheduled to become a restricted free agent in 2027. He was scheduled to make $966,666 this season. The Cowboys signed the former Minnesota Golden Gopher as an undrafted free agent in 2024. He has played all 34 games since and supplanted Luke Schoonmaker, a second-round pick in 2023, as the team’s No. 2 tight end. He has made only 18 catches for 178 yards and a touchdown, but has played 25.5 percent of the team’s offensive snaps over the past two seasons. He has also played 357 special teams snaps, becoming a core special teams player in 2025

Michael Trigg Peppered with Five Targets in NFL Preseason Debut
Dallas Cowboys tight end Michael Trigg caught four of his five targets for 30 yards during Saturday's preseason win over the Seattle Seahawks. At 24 years old, Trigg is on the older side for a prospect, which might be why he went undrafted despite having 694 yards and six touchdowns at Baylor last season. Nevertheless, he's already turning heads in the NFL after a productive, high-volume showing in the Cowboys' preseason opener. There's no question that Jake Ferguson has the No. 1 tight end job all locked up in Dallas, but we wouldn't be shocked to see Trigg push for the No. 2 role ahead of Luke Schoonmaker, despite his undrafted status. If Trigg continues to play well, he could be in the mix for a fantasy-relevant workload in the event of an injury to Ferguson

Pro Football TalkSource ↗
The Cowboys lost Princeton Fant for the season to a torn ACL and they replaced him on the roster with another tight end on Thursday. The NFL’s daily transaction report shows that they have claimed Zack Kuntz off of waivers. Fant was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Kuntz was waived by the Raiders on Thursday to end a brief stint with the team. He was a 2023 Jets seventh-round pick and played in two games during his time with the team. Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford, Luke Schoonmaker, Michael Trigg, and DJ Rogers are the other tight ends on the Cowboys roster

Cowboys must break the cycle of late-game letdowns
They say that football is a game of inches, and the Dallas Cowboys discovered exactly how agonizing those inches could be during their 2023 Week 9 trip to the unfriendly confines of Lincoln Financial Field against the Philadelphia Eagles . It was a battle for supremacy in the NFC East, carrying massive divisional weight and eventual playoff seeding implications. When the clock struck double-zeros, Dallas fell on the short side of a 28-23 loss. This particular defeat was an especially difficult pill to swallow because of just how many close moments refused to go the team’s way. It was a fantastic back-and-forth battle, but Dallas struggled to keep pace for a stretch and found itself staring at a 28-17 deficit in the fourth quarter. Pre-snap penalties, a stagnant running game, and blown defensive assignments allowed the Eagles to take control. Then, a sudden late surge sparked a comeback. The defense abruptly came to life, forcing three consecutive three-and-outs and throwing the door wide open for the Cowboys to steal a huge divisional win on the road. What happened next in that final quarter is still a little hard to stomach. The team endured one close-call letdown after another. The heartbreak started when a replay review overturned a Luke Schoonmaker touchdown, showing the ball was just short of the goal line when his knee touched the turf. Instead of closing the gap to 28-24, Dallas walked away with zero points and still trailed by 11. The team kept fighting and got the ball back quickly. Dak Prescott marched them down the field, going 5/6 for 57 yards in just over two minutes, capping the drive with a seven-yard touchdown to Jalen Tolbert . Unfortunately, they fell victim to another close call after replay again spat in their faces. A two-point conversion was overturned because Prescott had stepped out of bounds before extending the ball past the goal line, keeping it a five-point game instead of a three-point game. That was massive. Dallas got the ball back quickly yet again and drove 45 yards, but again they came up short at the Eagles’ 25-yard line, turning the ball over on downs with 1:17 left. The defense continued to come up huge, forcing another quick series for the Eagles’ offense. And Philly narrowly escaped disaster after running back D’Andre Swift ran into his own teammate and put the football on the turf. Micah Parsons was in perfect position to fall on it, but rookie offensive lineman Tyler Steen somehow pulled it in. The offense still got one final possession and strung together a great final drive. Well, almost. They got all the way down to the Eagles’ six-yard line with first-and-goal with 27 seconds left on the clock. The game was right there for the taking. What followed was an absolute debacle. False start. Terence Steele completely whiffs on a block, and Dak gets sacked. With no timeouts left, the clock continued to run. Incomplete pass. Delay of game. Suddenly, four shots at the six turned into one shot at the Eagles’ 27-yard line. Prescott hit CeeDee Lamb over the middle, but he was tackled well short of the goal line. That’s your ball game. You might be asking yourself why we are choosing to relive this nightmare. These are bad memories. What kind of sadomasochist subjects people to this on a perfectly fine day? The reason is to show that fans are still living with the pain of what could have been. A mid-year regular-season game from three years ago might not seem all that important on the surface, but had the Cowboys emerged victorious, it could have completely altered the 2023 season. Winning this game likely flips their record to 13-4 instead of 12-5, earning the highly coveted No. 1 seed in the NFC along with a first-round bye. That means dodging Green Bay entirely in the Wild Card round. Sure, you could argue that Dallas could have easily shown up just as unprepared in the Divisional Round against a different opponent or even that same Packers team. Then again, maybe they draw a Tampa Ba [... truncated ...]

Brevyn Spann-Ford Expected to Operate in Backup Role
Dallas Cowboys tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford is projected to make the 53-man roster as a backup to Jake Ferguson. Spann-Ford has primarily been used as a blocker, with minimal receiving statistics in his two NFL seasons. In the event of a Ferguson injury, Luke Schoonmaker would be the preferred fantasy waiver-wire option

Michael Trigg a Deep Dynasty Stash With Roster Risk
Dallas Cowboys tight end Michael Trigg has the receiving profile to draw dynasty interest, but he is still fighting just to make the roster. His final Baylor season was easily his best: 50 catches for 694 yards and six touchdowns in 11 games. At the combine, he measured 6-foot-3 3/4, 240 pounds, with 10 1/2-inch hands and an 84 3/8-inch wingspan, the longest among tight ends in the class. That length shows up on contested catches. The rest is less settled. Jake Ferguson is locked in at TE1, while Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford are already battling for the next job. Dallas has also made it clear that special teams and blocking will help decide whether Trigg survives final cuts. A practice-squad outcome remains very possible. RotoBaller ranks him TE43 in dynasty, which fits the uncertainty. He belongs on taxi squads only in deeper formats, not active redraft rosters. The upside is worth tracking, but camp has to come first

Cowboys news: Predicted roster cuts for the Dallas 2026 roster
The Dallas Cowboys are making roster predictions for their 2026 season, with key decisions looming at wide receiver, tight end, and along the offensive line. While CeeDee Lamb and Jake Ferguson are expected to retain their spots, notable cuts like Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Luke Schoonmaker are anticipated. Sam Howell is favored for the backup quarterback role over Joe Milton, and Phil Mafah is projected to edge out Malik Davis at running back. Defensive players Reddy Steward and Trikweze Bridges face uncertain futures despite significant playing time last season

Michael Trigg an Under-the-Radar Dynasty Stash or Taxi Squad Candidate
In a year that saw 22 tight ends selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, Baylor's Michael Trigg was not one of the players to hear his name called, and he ultimately signed with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent. Finishing second in the nation with 694 receiving yards from the tight end position and landing in the top five with his six touchdown grabs, talent has never been a concern for Trigg, but off-field issues are what led him to go undrafted. While the Cowboys organization has a checkered history of character concerns, that reputation has improved immensely in recent years, and if Trigg can keep things focused on football, he could earn his way onto the roster. Dallas is already deep at the position with Jake Ferguson and dedicated blockers Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford, but in a league trending toward heavier 12 and 13-personnel usage, it should come as no surprise if more teams start keeping four tight ends on the roster. Trigg offers a receiving element that neither Schoonmaker nor Spann-Ford would be able to provide should Ferguson miss extended time, and while he'll first need to make the team, RotoBaller's dynasty TE42 could ultimately prove to be a taxi squad stash with long-term fantasy upside

Cowboys 2026 roster rundown: TE Luke Schoonmaker
Luke Schoonmaker, a former second-round pick, faces a crucial 2026 season with the Cowboys. Entering the final year of his contract, his development has stalled, and he faces increased competition from TE prospect Brevyn Spann-Ford for the TE2 position. Schoonmaker's limited production in previous seasons, particularly in 2023 and 2024, raises concerns about his future with the team and his potential free agency status
