The Dallas Cowboys have restructured the contracts of players Jake Ferguson, DaRon Bland, and Kenny Clark to improve their salary cap situation ahead of the 2026 NFL season.
This move is part of a series of contract adjustments made by the Cowboys during the offseason to create additional cap room. Other players such as Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Tyler Smith, Terence Steele, and Malik Hooker have also had their contracts restructured or reworked.
Bland secured a four-year, $92 million contract extension, ensuring his stay with the Cowboys through the 2030 season. Ferguson also signed a four-year extension worth $52 million, keeping him with the team until 2030. Clark's contract has been restructured for the second time this offseason, and his current deal extends through 2028.
The restructuring provides the Cowboys with more financial flexibility, allowing them the option to make personnel changes if desired. Team owner Jerry Jones has indicated that while he is not actively pursuing high-profile player acquisitions, he remains open to opportunities that could enhance the team's competitiveness.
Jones expressed optimism about the team's potential, stating, "I'm even more excited today than I was when we started camp that our team is going to be one that if we can have some things go right for us, avoid some injury, we could really be something that we all want to be, and that's a team that's competing for the big game."
