The Dallas Cowboys have made adjustments to the contracts of Jake Ferguson, DaRon Bland, and Kenny Clark to improve their salary cap situation ahead of the 2026 NFL season. This decision is part of a broader strategy to create more financial room during the offseason.

Bland and Ferguson both received contract extensions that keep them with the Cowboys until 2030. Bland's new four-year agreement is valued at $92 million, while Ferguson's four-year extension is worth $52 million. Additionally, Kenny Clark's contract has been restructured for a second time this offseason, extending his deal through 2028.

These changes provide the Cowboys with more options for potential roster adjustments. Team owner Jerry Jones has expressed enthusiasm about the team's prospects, stating that he is optimistic about their chances if they can avoid injuries.

While these contract modifications do not indicate a pursuit of high-priced players, they do offer the team greater flexibility for any future moves during the season, which could also positively affect their salary cap for 2027.
