The Dallas Cowboys agreed this week to extensions that could be worth a combined $24 million for Ryan Flournoy and Brevyn Spann-Ford, before either player has completed a breakout season. Both contracts extend beyond 2026.
Flournoy’s one-season extension could pay him as much as $6 million through 2027. He recorded 40 catches, 475 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 2025. A report said he is expected to become the team’s established No. 3 receiver.
His size and athletic ability allow him to play all three receiver spots in Dallas’ 11-personnel formations. The agreement could help preserve continuity among the Cowboys’ top receivers if George Pickens leaves after the current season.
Spann-Ford signed a three-year agreement with a maximum value of $18 million, including $12.075 million guaranteed, keeping him in Dallas through 2029. He joined the NFL in 2024 as an undrafted free agent and last season competed with Luke Schoonmaker for a backup role behind Jake Ferguson. The report said the extensions differ from the Cowboys’ former practice of waiting for players to establish themselves.
It cited previous deals involving Terence Steele, Jaylon Smith, Dak Prescott, Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland as examples of later extensions.
