The Dallas Cowboys struck an extension with tight end Jake Ferguson on Sunday and the first domino of that sort has now officially fallen. Obviously we hope, and on some level anticipate, that others will soon (Micah Parsons, duh).
What separates the Ferguson extension from others like Parsons that could come in the near future is that Ferguson has only just become eligible for an extension (as soon as this offseason began technically). Being proactive with players is something Dallas has shown a willingness to do... for the right price. Given that Ferguson is coming off of a down year the opportunity was likely there so the Cowboys pounced and it worked out for everyone.
