Sept 11 — Contract extension: Spann-Ford signed a three-year, $18 million extension with the Cowboys, signaling their confidence in his development trajectory. He signed the deal shortly after training camp, reflecting his progress as an offensive contributor. Spann-Ford called the moment "a breath of fresh air" after undrafted doubt, emphasizing the importance of finding a team showing real interest early in his career. He chose Dallas over the Vikings (his hometown favorite) specifically because the Cowboys "showed aggressive interest." Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer praised Spann-Ford as an example of the competitive culture and "team-first mentality" the organization wants to build, noting his "toughness" and "play the game the right way" approach (per Spann-Ford, Flournoy reaping rewards of climbing NFL ladder with Cowboys).
