The Dallas Cowboys could target a tight end in the 2027 draft despite Jake Ferguson's recent four-year, $52 million extension. Ferguson, who posted a career-high 82 catches last season, has shown inconsistency and a decline in his yards per reception. With concerns about his efficiency, experts suggest four potential replacements: Lawson Luckie from Georgia, Peter Clarke from Temple, Trey'Dez Green from LSU, and Jamari Johnson from Oregon, each bringing different strengths. The team will assess options as they look to enhance their tight end position moving forward.
