The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to extensions that keep receiver Ryan Flournoy and tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford under contract beyond the 2026 season. The deals commit the team to as much as $24 million before either player has completed a breakout season.
Spann-Ford’s three-year agreement runs through 2029 and includes $12.075 million guaranteed, with a maximum value of $18 million. He joined Dallas as an undrafted free agent in 2024 and competed with Luke Schoonmaker for playing time behind Jake Ferguson last season.
Flournoy received a one-season extension worth up to $6 million, keeping him with the Cowboys through 2027. He had 40 receptions, 475 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 2025. A report said he is expected to become the team’s established No. 3 receiver and can play each of the three receiver positions in Dallas’ 11-personnel formations.
The agreement may also provide continuity among the top receivers if George Pickens leaves after the current season.
The agreements mark a shift from Dallas’ prior practice of waiting for players to establish themselves before offering long-term contracts. Earlier extensions for Terence Steele, Jaylon Smith, Dak Prescott, Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland came after those players had demonstrated success.
