Dallas Cowboys' Latest Major Contract Extension Details Revealed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This week, the Dallas Cowboys struck a major contract extension. It wasn't the Micah Parsons deal that everybody has been waiting for, but it's one that the Cowboys felt needed to get done based on the timing. The veteran tight end Jake Ferguson landed himself a five-year deal. He is expected to make $52 million from the Cowboys over that time. On Wednesday, ESPN's Todd Archer revealed the key numbers from the contract breakdown. 2025: $1.406 million 2026: $7.25 million 2027: $6.25 million 2028: $11.75 million 2029: $11.75 million Ferguson also has $750,000 for an active roster bonus in 2026-2029, and $500,000 in escalators/incentives. $30 million of the deal is reportedly guaranteed for the veteran tight end.

Jake Ferguson #87 of the Dallas Cowboys runs across the field during an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals at AT&T Stadium on December 9, 2024 in Arlington, extension could be viewed as a questionable decision made by the Cowboys. The 2022 fourth-round pick has three seasons under his belt. He exceeded 500 yards just once. During Ferguson's rookie year, he started just half of the 16 games he played. He caught 19 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns. Ferguson became a full-time starter for the Cowboys in 2023 and put together a Pro Bowl season. He caught 71 passes for nearly 800 yards. The veteran tight end found the end zone for a career-high five scores. He seemed to be trending in the right direction, but saw a regression in year three. Dealing with setbacks throughout the year, Ferguson played in 14 games. He caught 59 passes, while averaging 8.4 yards per catch, his lowest of his career. Ferguson produced just under 500 yards and didn't reach the end zone. once. He also fumbled four times after not fumbling once throughout his first two seasons. Despite the down year, the Cowboys felt confident enough to make an investment in Ferguson. Like most extensions, there is a lot of risk in play. Since Ferguson has one standout season under his belt, paying him Top-10 tight end money looks like an overpay right now. The Cowboys are banking on the idea that Ferguson will bounce back while getting a full season with Dak Prescott, who is returning from an injury. The bar isn't super high for Ferguson. If he can put together a career year, the Cowboys would likely feel really good about jumping on that investment early. Now, the Cowboys have to place their focus back on the veteran edge rusher, Micah Parsons. Similar to Ferguson, Parsons is heading into the final year of his rookie deal. The veteran star has made it clear he wants to lock in a long-term deal before the season starts. Currently, Parsons and the Cowboys are at a standstill.

Former 49ers CB says he was upset and unmotivated throughout the 2024 season
After the San Francisco 49ers finished with their 2021 campaign with a 10-7 record and were knocked out of the postseason in the NFC championship game, they looked to upgrade their secondary and did so by signing cornerback Charvarius Ward, who was coming off of some strong seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, to a three-year, $40.5 million deal. Ward played three seasons with the 49ers starting 46 games and earning both All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2023. However, as he entered his final season with the 49ers without an extension, Ward says he was upset. 'I was hurt when I realized when I wasn't getting a contract extension or an offer… So I wasn't motivated," Ward recently told The Athletic's Mike Silver. "I was kind of pissed off. I knew when the season started it was a wrap for me in the Bay… They got DMO, they drafted him and he's younger than me. They probably like DMO a little bit better. He's a little more physical and aggressive than me. I can lock anybody down. Kyle and John want head-busters. I'm not mad. He got what he deserved. All-Pro's don't grow on trees, though.' Ward's 2024 season was far from his best, as he finished with 54 tackles (one for a loss) and seven passes defensed. Things got much worse for him at home when he tragically lost his 1-year-old daughter, Amani Joy, during the team's bye week. The cornerback missed multiple weeks after the rest of the team returned from the bye, but when he returned, his mind still wasn't on doing everything he could for the 49ers. 'Once I came back every game after that, I was just like, 'I don't give a [expletive] what happens,'" Ward told Silver. "I don't care if I win this rep; I don't care if I lose this rep.' I was there physically, but mentally, I was somewhere off the grid, off the globe. "It's been hard for me personally to go to work every day, every game — even to practice or go to meetings," Ward added. "I almost left a couple of times. [Expletive], I know fans probably hate me (for saying that), but [expletive] it, it's real life.' Ward started five of the team's final six games down the stretch, as they finished the year with a 6-11 record and outside the playoffs for the first time since 2020. The team decided to pay another starting cornerback, Deommodore Lenoir, last season, allowing Ward to find a new home in free agency. The 29-year-old inked a three-year, $54 million deal ($60 million max) with the Indianapolis Colts in March that included $27 million guaranteed at signing. With his new team, he'll be the top cornerback again, and he'll have a chance to prove to the 49ers that they should invested in him when they had the chance.

AFC NFL Training Camp Preview: QB Battles, Rookie RBs To Watch
The Kansas City Chiefs maintained their hold on the American Football Conference in 2024, winning their ninth consecutive NFC West title and making their fifth Super Bowl appearance in the last six seasons. Finding ways to frustrate the Buffalo Bills and 2024 league MVP Josh Allen has become part of the equation. This time it happened in the AFC title game. While the Chiefs opened the season with nine straight wins, some of it came with smoke and mirrors before the Bills handed them their first regular-season loss. Cincinnati missed a game-winning field in Week 2, Denver had a potential game-winning field goal blocked in Week 10 and Las Vegas botched a snap on the play before they could have tried another game-winning field goal in Week 13. They were blown out 40-22 by Philadelphia in the Super Bowl. As training camps opened, the AFC race seemed as open as it has been during the Chiefs' run. Can Pete Carroll Resuscitate the Raiders? The Raiders turned to former Seattle Super Bowl-winning Pete Carroll after three straight seasons of losing and dysfunction following the resignation of Jon Gruden in 2021. Carroll will be the oldest coach in NFL history when he turns 74 on Sept. 15, but his resume is hard to doubt. The league knows. It has scheduled a birthday present, a date with the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night football that night. He is not the only new face. Carroll acquired old friend and quarterback Geno Smith in an offseason trade with the Seahawks. Smith and Carroll paired in 2022-23 with Seattle, when each finished 9-8 but did not not make the playoffs. The Raiders have other weapons. Rookie tight end Brock Bowers had 112 receptions last season, third-most for that spot in NFL, and running back Ashton Jeanty was the sixth pick in the draft after a stellar college career at Boise State. Are the Chiefs Still the Chiefs? It is a fair question. Kansas City has set an impossibly high bar since quarterback Patrick Mahomes took over, but they showed signs of slippage even while making the Super Bowl a year ago. Hall of Fame-in-waiting coach Andy Reid has work to do if the Chiefs are to keep with up rising AFC West contenders San Diego, Denver, Las Vegas to extend their decade of division dominance. It starts with generational talent Mahomes, who had middling season, not only by his standards but by NFL metrics. He threw for a career-low 3,928 yards, which was seventh in the league, but his quarterback rating fell to 93.5, which was 17th among those who started at least 10 games. An injury to running back Isiah Pacheco hurt the running game, and the Chiefs never have found an adequate replacement for Tyreek Hill since he signed with Miami. Travis Kelce had 823 receiving yards, his lowest total since he became a starter in 2014. QB competitions in Cleveland, Indy Cleveland drafted quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel (third round) and Shedeur Sanders (fifth round) this spring, but with Deshaun Watson likely out for the season with an Achilles injury, veteran Joe Flacco appears to be the leader in the clubhouse. Offseason acquisition Kenny Pickett fills out the quarterback room. Flacco struggled in Denver and the New York Jets before a brilliant stretch with the Browns after Watson was hurt in 2023, going 4-1 with four straight 300-yard games as starter and leading them into the playoffs. Another 300-yard game was not enough to beat Houston in the playoffs. The Colts bet their future on Anthony Richardson when they surprised the industry by making him the fourth overall pick in the 2023 draft. Injuries have limited him to 15 games in his first two seasons, and his 12 interceptions and 47.7 completion percentage in 11 games last season created doubt. Enter Daniel Jones, another surprisingly high draft pick (sixth overall, 2019) who was released by the New York Giants in November after injuries and limited success in his six seasons there. Richardson has emerged as the favorite in early training camp action, but it is way too early to call it. Rookie Running Backs To Monitor The first six running backs taken in the 2025 draft went to AFC teams, and several could step right into starting spots depending on their preseason progress. If Jeanty proves worthy of the No. 6 pick, he has the runway to be Carroll's new Marshawn Lynch. Fellow first-rounder Omarion Hampton could not have landed in a better spot than with Jim Harbaugh and the-first Chargers. Second-rounders Quinshon Judkins (Browns), TreVeyon Henderson (Patriots) and RJ Harvey (Denver) join teams between them that had only one running back that accounted for at least 575 yards. Third-rounder Kaleb Johnson was drafted by Pittsburgh, which lost free agent Najee Harris to the Chargers, Hampton's competition.
