DJ Rogers

Rogers signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent in the 2026 cycle, meaning zero draft capital invested in his role. UDFA tight ends face long odds of even making the 53-man roster and frequently land on the practice squad.

He sits behind Jake Ferguson (entrenched starter) plus Luke Schoonmaker and other depth pieces on the Cowboys' depth chart, projecting as a TE3/TE4 with no clear path to meaningful targets.

Scouting reports flag his in-line blocking as a significant weakness, capping him as a flex/move-only TE and sharply limiting his snap count and three-down value at the next level.

At 24 entering his rookie season after a five-year college career, Rogers is a late bloomer with limited developmental runway relative to younger rookie TEs.

Rogers brings an intriguing 6-4, 258-lb frame with an 82.25-inch wingspan, 9.5-inch hands, and a 7.36 RAS — movement skills and reliable hands that give him a developmental ceiling as a receiving move-TE.

Dallas has limited proven receiving depth behind Ferguson, so a strong camp could earn Rogers a roster or practice-squad spot and a longer-term developmental look in a pass-friendly offense.
