Cowboys Reach $18 Million, 3-Year Deal with Backup Tight End Brevyn Spann-Ford
The deal is worth $18 million with $12.075 million guaranteed as Spann-Ford becomes Dallas’ No. 2 tight end behind Jake Ferguson.
On Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys signed backup tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford to a three-year, $18 million extension with $12.075 million guaranteed, securing him through the 2029 season.
Originally signing as an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota in 2024, Spann-Ford has ascended to the Cowboys' number two tight end role, appearing in 34 consecutive games over two seasons.
Coach Brian Schottenheimer described the 26-year-old as a "tough, physical football player" developing as a receiver, while Spann-Ford has recorded 18 receptions for 178 yards and one touchdown in his career.
Complementing starting tight end Jake Ferguson, who signed a four-year, $52 million extension last year, both tight ends remain under contract through 2029, solidifying the position's depth.
According to Spotrac, the Cowboys possess $23.3 million in top-51 cap space for the 2027 season, reflecting the organization's commitment to retaining talent while maintaining future roster flexibility.
