Cowboys Bench $50 Million Star Jake Ferguson Amid Offensive Collapse
The Dallas Cowboys are pulling the trigger on major offensive changes, benching star tight end Jake Ferguson for Brevyn Spann-Ford. The move comes after a costly dropped pass last week led to an interception and sealed another tough loss. It’s a bold statement from a team that entered the year with Super Bowl dreams but has quickly turned into one of the league’s biggest letdowns. The timing is especially striking because Ferguson recently signed a massive four-year, $50 million deal. Yet, the big contract hasn’t bought him any patience. Through five games, he has only caught 15 passes for 102 yards—numbers that simply aren’t cutting it. His current grade sits at a dismal 49.0, ranking near the bottom of the league’s tight ends. The coaching staff is drawing a hard line in the sand: performance is what matters, regardless of the paycheck or past accolades. Along with right tackle Terence Steele, Ferguson’s slow start has raised major red flags in the locker room, proving that nobody is safe on this struggling roster.
