Luke Schoonmaker was one of only two tight ends active for the Cowboys-Cardinals preseason game, indicating limited depth chart movement or availability at the position.NegativeDepth ChartAug 17, 2026
Already viewed as a potential cut candidate headed into training camp, Schoonmaker's roster chances took a hit before kickoff once Brevyn Spann-Ford was ruled out, signaling he's likely the TE2 behind Jake Ferguson. His situation worsened after undrafted rookie Michael Trigg showed off his pass-catching ability with a team-high 4 catches for 30 yards, creating additional depth chart pressure.NegativeRoleAug 16, 2026
Schoonmaker, listed as a core backup, played only 8 snaps before his day ended early in the preseason game against Seattle.NegativeRoleAug 16, 2026
Former second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker got the start Saturday night but faces significant roster concerns. When he was taken out, Michael Trigg hauled in four catches for 30 yards in impressive fashion, putting Schoonmaker's roster spot in question heading into the next two preseason games.NegativeDepth ChartAug 13, 2026
Tight end suddenly thrust into 'could be cut' conversations due to Michael Trigg's impressive camp performance; roster status now uncertain despite previous security, contingent on whether Trigg can improve blocking, which Dallas values highly.NegativeDepth ChartAug 13, 2026
Second-round tight end facing potential cut or trade after Brevyn Spann-Ford made enough progress in training camp and caught a touchdown in the Rams scrimmage. Spann-Ford is the better blocker with athleticism as a pass catcher, and with both in final contract years, Spann-Ford is the likelier choice to hold a roster spot. Cutting Schoonmaker would leave Dallas with Jake Ferguson and Spann-Ford locked in, plus one of Michael Trigg, D.J. Rogers, or Zack Kuntz.NegativeDepth ChartAug 13, 2026
Schoonmaker is listed as the clear third tight end on the Cowboys' depth chart behind Brevyn Spann-Ford, entering a contract season after a disappointing training camp; he has not flashed significantly and has had multiple drops, compounded by the Cowboys giving their biggest undrafted free agent deals this year to two other tight ends.NegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026
Luke Schoonmaker, a former second-round pick, has dropped to the third tight end spot on the Cowboys' unofficial depth chart, officially swapping places with Brevyn Spann-Ford from a year ago.NegativeDepth ChartAug 12, 2026
Listed as the No. 3 tight end on the first unofficial depth chart, positioned behind Brevyn Spann-Ford and Jake Ferguson; remains in competition for his roster spot with undrafted free agents Michael Trigg and DJ Rogers also vying for tight end depth.NegativeRoleAug 10, 2026
Jake Ferguson has taken control of the #1 tight end spot and earned a sizable payday, ensuring Schoonmaker has no path to surpass him; Brevyn Spann-Ford is the preferred extension candidate over Schoonmaker despite both being in contract years; undrafted Michael Trigg is being developed as an athletic project; Zack Kuntz was added off waivers after Princeton Fant's injury, further crowding the depth chart.NegativeValueAug 10, 2026
Second-round pick tight end with poor return on investment; drafted too high for team's ambitions given Dak Prescott's ability to elevate any tight end; hasn't provided sufficient ROI and should be on the outs with the team; the source expects the Cowboys to move Schoonmaker for a day-three pick.NegativeDepth ChartAug 10, 2026
Schoonmaker could be pushed off the roster if Michael Trigg continues to shine throughout the rest of training camp and preseason; the source predicts that's exactly what's going to happen, making Schoonmaker a potential trade candidate.NegativeDepth ChartAug 7, 2026
The 2023 second-round pick is on the roster bubble entering his contract year with the Cowboys. Schoonmaker never challenged Jake Ferguson for the starting tight end job as hoped and has shown very little improvement since entering the league. Although he was technically Dallas' TE2 last season with 391 offensive snaps, he has been surpassed on the depth chart by UDFA Brevyn Spann-Ford (300 snaps) and is now third on the depth chart. With Michael Trigg shining in training camp practices, Schoonmaker faces pressure to make the roster, having lost the relative safety his draft status once provided.NegativeRoleAug 3, 2026
Tight end stopped short of goal line during padded practice by defensive back Shemar James; source suggests Schoonmaker expected an easy touchdown ('likely thought this was a walk-in TD'), but was tackled before reaching the end zone.NegativeDepth ChartJul 26, 2026
Luke Schoonmaker is the current second tight end for the Cowboys, but Brevyn Spann-Ford has an opportunity to overtake him in training camp competition.NegativeRoleJul 24, 2026
Luke Schoonmaker and Marist Liufau are running out of runway to prove themselves for Dallas; both had high hopes as rookies but that momentum has faded significantly.NegativeRoleJul 24, 2026
Might be running out of runway to show something for Dallas; had high hopes as a rookie but has not delivered, putting his roster future in question.NegativeProjectionJul 24, 2026
Schoonmaker scored a touchdown in a critical late-game moment during the Cowboys' Week 9 comeback attempt against Philadelphia, but the score was overturned on replay review when officials determined the ball was just short of the goal line when his knee touched the turf; the reversal cost Dallas a potential 28-24 deficit instead of remaining down 11 points.PositiveRoleJul 23, 2026
Entering the final year of his rookie deal, the former second-rounder reports to camp fighting for a more prominent role in a high-usage TE scheme from last season's coaching change.NegativeDepth ChartJul 22, 2026
Tight end currently holding the number two role on the depth chart; Brevyn Spann-Ford has a genuine opportunity to overtake him for that position.
