With Jason Witten’s future in Dallas up in the air, Dallas sought to pin down Jarwin, a restricted free agent. The Cowboys previously placed a second-round tender on the TE in advance of his new extension.
In three seasons in Dallas, Jarwin caught 58 passes for 672 yards and six TDs. The 25-year-old averaged 8.7 yards per target that past two seasons.
After his play-time increased last year, the new contract indicates he’s in line for an even bigger role with Mike McCarthy taking over as the Cowboys new coach.
