BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Tennessee Titans Land Star Tight End Jake Ferguson in Monumental $160 Million Deal
NASHVILLE, TN — June 29, 2025
In a blockbuster move that has sent shockwaves throughout the NFL, the Tennessee Titans have announced the signing of star tight end Jake Ferguson, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys, to a massive four-year, $160 million contract. The deal, which averages an unprecedented $40 million per year for a tight end, marks one of the most significant acquisitions in franchise history and signals a bold new era in Tennessee.
The Titans, long in search of a dynamic offensive weapon, made a loud statement by landing the 25-year-old Ferguson, who has quickly become one of the league’s elite tight ends since entering the NFL in 2022. Known for his reliable hands, route running, and physicality in the blocking game, Ferguson is expected to become a cornerstone of the Titans’ evolving offense.
“This is a game-changer for our organization,” said Titans General Manager Ran Carthon in a press conference on Saturday morning. “Jake Ferguson embodies everything we want in a Titan: toughness, consistency, leadership, and elite playmaking ability. We believe he’s just entering the prime of his career, and we’re thrilled to have him in Nashville.”

His rookie season with the Cowboys showcased flashes of potential, but it was in the 2023 and 2024 seasons that he truly blossomed into a top-tier tight end.
In 2024, Ferguson posted career highs in receptions (93), receiving yards (1,021), and touchdowns (9), becoming a favorite target of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and a consistent threat in the red zone. He was named to the Pro Bowl and earned second-team All-Pro honors. His chemistry with Prescott, his ability to find soft spots in coverage, and his durability made him one of the most coveted free agents this
