Despite a $52 million extension, Ferguson has struggled with fumbling, losing the ball seven times over the past two seasons, including three times this year. An anonymous NFC scout noted that teams are targeting this weakness, which could impact Ferguson's performance and role as Dak Prescott's main tight end.
