A below-average depth re-signing that signals more organizational loyalty than roster-building ambition. Five headlines covered the move, with reporters noting Fant is still searching for a breakout moment. The most telling detail: Dallas cut him, then re-signed him two months later, suggesting limited market interest. Fans are frustrated, seeing this as a missed opportunity to upgrade the tight end room meaningfully. Fant projects as a camp body competing for a depth roster spot with minimal fantasy or football impact.

This signing grades out as a significant overpay for the Dallas Cowboys — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Princeton's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL TEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the TE market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Princeton is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
