STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Ferguson's drops cost Dallas a TD and pick-six in loss to Tampa Bay.

Ferguson had a critical drop on first down that led to a field goal instead of potentially a touchdown before halftime, and then dropped a potential pick-six late in the game that would have changed the outcome. The source notes Ferguson was one of the Cowboys' prioritized spending targets after deciding against Micah Parsons' future, making these drops particularly costly given his contract status.
