According to Todd Archer, the Cowboys are likely to use a second-round tender on restricted free agent TE Blake Jarwin.
Archer adds Dallas is also expected to tender backup QB Cooper Rush, also a restricted free agent, for $2.1 million.
Dallas had reportedly started extension talks with Jarwin’s agent at the Combine. The Cowboys may end up moving on from long-time TE Jason Witten this offseason, which means Jarwin could be in line for a much larger role this year.
A second-round tender is projected to cost around $3.2 million for the 2020 season and ensures that they would get a second-round pick should they decline to match an offer sheet from another team.
Jarwin, 25, signed on with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma State back in 2017. He joined their practice squad coming out of the preseason his rookie year and was promoted to their active roster shortly after.
In 2019, Jarwin appeared in all 16 games and recorded 31 receptions for 365 yards receiving (11.8 YPC) and three touchdowns.
