A considerable setback and a long-term commitment led the way in the Dallas Cowboys tight end room Sunday. Rookie tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford suffered a leg injury during practice, and starting tight end Jake Ferguson signed a lucrative deal—both developments will impact the team’s future plans for the offense.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Cowboys and tight end Jake Ferguson agreed to terms on a four-year, $52 million contract extension that includes $30 million guaranteed and a $12 million signing bonus. Rapoport noted that negotiations for Ferguson's new deal "occurred under the radar," and he's already signed the contract.
