The Dallas Cowboys have made significant adjustments to the contracts of Jake Ferguson, DaRon Bland, and Kenny Clark to increase their financial flexibility for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. This restructuring is part of a broader effort by the team to create additional salary cap room during the offseason.
Both Ferguson and Bland have signed contract extensions that will keep them with the Cowboys through 2025. Bland's new four-year contract is valued at $92 million and extends his stay with the team until 2030. Ferguson's four-year extension is worth $52 million, also securing his position through 2030.
In addition, Kenny Clark's contract has undergone restructuring for the second time this offseason, now extending through the 2028 season.
These changes offer the Cowboys more options for potential personnel adjustments. Team owner Jerry Jones has expressed optimism about the team's prospects, stating he is excited about their potential to compete for a championship.
While the contract modifications do not indicate an immediate pursuit of high-priced players, they do provide the team with greater flexibility for future moves and positively affect their salary cap situation for the 2027 season.
