Jake Ferguson’s late addition to the Pro Bowl roster (as an injury replacement for George Kittle) caught many by surprise, as the Cowboys tight end put up personal-best numbers in receptions and touchdowns but vastly underachieved in yardage. It begs the question: can Dallas expect more production out of the TE position in 2026? Brevyn Spann-Ford showed flashes, but can he be consistent? And what to make of Luke Schoonmaker after three full seasons?
Also in today’s headlines, we look ahead to free agency. Re-signing certain star players would seem to be a top priority this offseason, and there are a couple positions where doing some shopping will be smart. But what if the guy most worth busting the budget for is actually an offensive lineman?
We’ve got mock draft goodness, further validation on the Trevon Diggs decision, and coaching news that has one Cowboys assistant in someone else’s crosshairs… plus a top-flight special teams guru has been scooped by an NFC opponent the Cowboys will host next season.
Elsewhere in the coaching shuffle, Brian Flores signs with Minnesota, but he can still take a head coaching job if he gets an offer. Two former Cowboys staffers are talking to new teams; find out who’s courting Al Harris and Anthony Lynn for big promotions. The Eagles are still looking for an offensive coordinator, and they’re turning to the Chiefs’ staff… while the Chiefs are ready to move on by bringing back a familiar face from their past.
Some intriguing player news as San Francisco says mercurial wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is out… and Keon Coleman gets thrown under the bus in Buffalo in a situation worth watching for the 2024 second-round draft pick. The NFL combine is staying put in Indianapolis, the secret to a great defense might be a wildly misunderstood and underappreciated position, and the 49ers say they’ll take a real look into the growing theory that a power station next to their practice field is causing an increase in player injuries.
