The Dallas Cowboys have made adjustments to the contracts of players Jake Ferguson, DaRon Bland, and Kenny Clark to improve their salary cap flexibility for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. This is part of a broader effort by the Cowboys to create additional financial space during the offseason.

Bland and Ferguson both received contract extensions, ensuring their positions with the Cowboys through 2025. Bland's new four-year contract is valued at $92 million, extending his tenure with the team until 2030. Ferguson also secured a four-year extension worth $52 million, keeping him with the Cowboys until 2030 as well.

Kenny Clark's deal has undergone restructuring twice this offseason, and it now extends through the 2028 season. 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 with favorable conditions, they could become a strong contender for the championship.

While the restructuring does not indicate an immediate pursuit of high-priced players, it does afford the team greater flexibility for potential moves during the season and positively influences their salary cap situation for 2027.
