Terrence Parsons Jr voiced concerns over their tight end hierarchy
Tensions off the field have sparked conversation within Dallas Cowboys circles after Terrence Parsons Jr, brother of star linebacker Micah Parsons, publicly questioned the role of tight end Jake Ferguson in Dallas’ offense.
The criticism arises amid reports that younger tight ends, like Brevyn Spann-Ford, are making waves during minicamp, raising concerns about Ferguson’s status atop the depth chart.
Terrence, never shy on social media, weighed in as discussions about Ferguson’s starting role gained traction: “Jake Ferguson in trouble lol,” he posted, reacting to his brother’s teammates and fans evaluating Ferguson’s performance.
His follow-up comment hinted at deeper reservations: “He might not be the best on the team bro lol,” Parsons clapped back when a fan defended Ferguson’s potential.

Cowboys evaluate tight end depth
The Cowboys’ tight end room appears to be in flux. Second-year player Spann-Ford has impressed coaches and reporters during minicamp, consistently earning praise in team interviews.
Amid this backdrop, Ferguson – listed as the current TE1 – faces increased scrutiny. His recent stat line (59 receptions, 494 yards, zero touchdowns last season) has done little to quell the criticism.
Analysts note that the Cowboys are aiming to diversify their passing game. With CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens forming a potent receiving duo, offensive balance could pivot to exploiting mismatch opportunities involving tight ends.
Spann-Ford’s reliable hands and blocking ability make him a firm candidate for expanded snaps, potentially shifting Ferguson into a reduced role if he doesn’t show marked improvement.
Family matters sprinkle drama into Cowboys’ offseason
Terrence Parsons‘ public comments reflect more than just sibling loyalty – they add an intriguing subplot to the Cowboys’ evolving locker room atmosphere. His willingness to call out a veteran teammate shows his confidence in the team’s young talent, even as it creates potential friction.
At the same time, Micah is focused on his own contract as he prepares for training camp. His presence at mandatory sessions underscores his commitment-despite ongoing negotiation uncertainty. Amid all this, Terrence’s outspoken views serve as a bold reminder of the personal dynamics at play behind the scenes.
As Dallas fine-tunes its offense and chemistry in preparation for the 2025 season, internal competition-including the tight end battle-will likely be a key factor.
For now, Terrence’s voice has elevated the spotlight, spotlighting both Ferguson’s value and Spann-Ford’s rise-while setting the tone for a position in flux.
