## Resource

Dallas Cowboys tight end drama heats up as Jake Ferguson locks down the starting role, leaving Luke Schoonmaker — a second-round pick from 2023 with underwhelming production — in a fierce battle for the final roster spot. Brevyn Spann-Ford, a physical blocker with elite run-blocking potential, is emerging as the frontrunner for the No. 2 spot, while undrafted rookie Michael Trigg, despite past off-field issues, could steal the No. 3 role with a breakout camp. If Schoonmaker doesn’t make the roster, he’d be the lone holdover from the 2023 draft class — a painful reality for a team built on developing homegrown talent. The Cowboys’ decision will reveal whether they prioritize loyalty or performance. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
