Dallas Cowboys sign Brevyn Spann-Ford and Ryan Flournoy to contract extensions

The Dallas Cowboys signed tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford and wide receiver Ryan Flournoy to extensions on Thursday. Both players were pending restricted free agents, and the move ensures their roles within the offense for the upcoming season. By securing these deals, the front office avoids the potential necessity of placing restricted free agent tenders on them following the current season. Spann-Ford enters the year as a backup to Jake Ferguson, while Flournoy remains behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the depth chart. The team opted to hold both players out of preseason action to prepare them for their roles in the regular season offense led by Brian Schottenheimer. These extensions provide the Cowboys with future roster flexibility, particularly at the tight end position.
