Dallas may be looking to secure two key players before their value skyrockets.
The Dallas Cowboys are no strangers to high-profile contract negotiations, and recent comments from executive vice president Stephen Jones suggest that early extensions for standout cornerback DaRon Bland and tight end Jake Ferguson could be on the horizon.
With both players slated for free agency in 2026, the Cowboys might be looking to strike while the iron is hot, locking them in before their market value soars.
CeeDee Lamb doesn’t hold back his words for Dak Prescott
DaRon Bland: A rising star in the secondary
Bland made a name for himself in 2023, racking up an impressive nine interceptions and setting an NFL record with five pick-sixes. His ability to read plays and turn defense into offense made him one of the league’s most electrifying cornerbacks. Although he faced injury setbacks in 2024, his playmaking skills remain undeniable. If the Cowboys want to keep a premier ball hawk in their secondary for years to come, securing an extension now could be a smart financial move.
Jake Ferguson’s impact on the offense
Ferguson also broke out in 2023, amassing 71 receptions for 761 yards and five touchdowns. His chemistry with Dak Prescott made him a crucial piece of the Cowboys‘ offensive puzzle.
Though his numbers dipped in 2024 due to lingering injuries and offensive adjustments, his reliability as a pass-catcher and blocker keeps him valuable. With another strong season, his price tag could skyrocket, making early negotiations a priority for the Cowboys.
Will Dallas move quickly or let the market decide?

While Jones‘ comments suggest the Cowboys are eager to keep both players, the team has historically been slow-moving when it comes to contract talks. If Bland and Ferguson continue their upward trajectories, their asking prices could increase significantly by 2026. For now, Cowboys fans will have to wait and see if this is just another tease or the beginning of proactive roster management.
Locking in Bland and Ferguson early could save Dallas millions in future cap space. But as history has shown, the Cowboys tend to wait until the last minute-sometimes at the expense of retaining their top talent.
