The Cowboys have officially signed their entire draft class. The team announced today that they’ve signed fourth-round tight end Jake Ferguson to his four-year rookie pact.
Ferguson was relatively consistent during his four years at Wisconsin. In 47 games, the tight end hauled in 145 receptions for 1,618 yards and 13 touchdowns. Thanks to that production, he was the eighth tight end off the board during this year’s draft, going to Dallas with pick No. 129.
Dalton Schultz isn’t participating in OTAs while he looks for a new deal, so Ferguson will have a chance to show what he’s got with increased reps. The rookie will be competing with the likes of Sean McKeon and Jeremy Sprinkle for the second spot on the depth chart.
With the signing, Dallas has signed all nine of their draft picks:
Round 1: No. 24 Tyler Smith, OL (Tulsa) (signed)
Round 2: No. 56 Sam Williams, DE (Ole Miss) (signed)
Round 3: No. 88 Jalen Tolbert, WR (South Alabama) (signed)
Round 4: No. 129 Jake Ferguson, TE (Wisconsin)
Round 5: No. 155 (from Browns) Matt Waletzko, OT (North Dakota) (signed)
Round 5: No. 167 DaRon Bland, CB (Fresno State) (signed)
Round 5: No. 176 Damone Clark, LB (LSU) (signed)
Round 5: No. 178 John Ridgeway, DT (Arkansas) (signed)
Round 6: No. 193 (from Browns) Devin Harper, LB (Oklahoma State) (signed)
