Cowboys' laughable contract extension keeps proving Howie Roseman's genius

Philadelphia Eagles fans can't help but feel some kind of happiness in seeing the Dallas Cowboys continuously putting themselves in laughable situations.

The Cowboys gave tight end Jake Ferguson a four-year, $52 million contract extension that will keep him on the roster through the 2029 season. $30 million of the contract is guaranteed to the former 2022 fourth-round pick.

Dallas' deal with Ferguson makes sense since he was entering the final year of his rookie contract and was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026. Why should Eagles fans be happy about the deal? In typical Jerry Jones fashion, he overpaid for a player that doesn't compared to who Philly has.

Dallas Goedert is unmistakable better than Ferguson in so many ways

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman did it again. Roseman has a player on his roster better than the Cowboys, with Dallas making a mistake with him.

First with the stats, Goedert has played fewer games than Ferguson from 2022 through 2024, but has him beaten in almost every category except for one: average contract value.

The big difference between Goedert and Ferguson is durability. Ferguson has been more reliable in staying on the field than Goedert has. Goedert's 15 games missed over the last three years are a big reason why the Eagles restructured his contract in 2025 to be $10 million instead of his original $14.25 million he was scheduled to make this year.

Dallas showed their desperation to keep an average tight end that they had spent a ton of money on, instead of getting a deal done with their best player, Micah Parsons. Jones will continue to make side comments about Parsons, while the Eagles fans will laugh at them for continuously making the same mistake time and time again.

Roseman continues to just outsmart the NFL as he's got the better tight end for $3 million less. Never change Dallas. Never change.
