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.

Schoonmaker is the most obvious Cowboys trade candidate; drafted in the second round but hasn't provided sufficient return on investment. Jake Ferguson has secured the #1 tight end role with a sizable contract extension, eliminating any path for Schoonmaker to reclaim the position. With Brevyn Spann-Ford emerging as a better blocker and pass-catching option, and undrafted Michael Trigg flashing athleticism at training camp, the Cowboys' tight end hierarchy has moved past Schoonmaker. The source expects Dallas to move Schoonmaker for a day-three pick rather than risk losing him for nothing in roster cuts.

Schoonmaker, a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, never really challenged Jake Ferguson for the starting tight end job as was hoped, nor has he shown much improvement thus far in his career. He is entering a contract year this season and currently finds himself on the roster bubble nearly two weeks into training camp. While he enjoyed the relative safety a player of his draft status generally gets throughout his first three seasons with the Cowboys, that security seems to be running out. He may have to fight tooth and nail to even make the roster.

Luke Schoonmaker, a second-round pick in 2023, is on the Dallas Cowboys roster bubble entering his contract year. Despite being technically TE2 based on offensive snaps played last season (391), many observers believe Brevyn Spann-Ford has surpassed him on the depth chart despite playing only 300 snaps. Spann-Ford has shown continued development and is now considered the primary backup, putting Schoonmaker's roster spot in jeopardy.

The 2023 second-round pick is on the roster bubble entering his contract year, having failed to challenge Jake Ferguson for the starting tight end job or show meaningful improvement since entering the league. He played 391 offensive snaps last season (TE2 by snap count) but has been surpassed on the depth chart by undrafted free agent Brevyn Spann-Ford, who played only 300 snaps but has shown superior development as both a blocker and receiver. Schoonmaker now finds himself third on the depth chart at best, with undrafted rookie Michael Trigg also making plays in training camp and potentially pushing him further down or off the roster entirely. The Cowboys typically carry only three tight ends, putting his roster spot in genuine jeopardy.

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.

Bears camp takeaways: ▪️Caleb struggled early (high/behind Rome, INT to Tyrique Stevenson, operation issues) but responded by going 6-for-6 on the game-winning two-minute drill, capped by a TD to Luther Burden. Great resilience. ▪️Jedrick Wills continues to flash. Excellent movement skills and plenty of pop despite one loss to Daniel Hardy a couple other bad plays. ▪️Darnell Wright won a heavyweight battle, handling Montez Sweat on three straight reps in 1 on 1s. That bag of money not slowing...
