Cowboys Snag Baylor TE Michael Trigg in Undrafted Free Agency
Last updated 10 hours ago
The Dallas Cowboys quickly signed Baylor tight end Michael Trigg, a 6-foot-4 athletic standout with NFL-record wingspan for his position, right after the draft. Despite a breakout senior year of 50 catches, 694 yards, and six touchdowns—plus All-Big 12 honors—past disciplinary issues like a suspension kept him undrafted. Dallas, needing depth behind Jake Ferguson, eyes him as a potential weapon for Dak Prescott, joining a strong undrafted class that includes TCU's DJ Rogers and others.
 
Could be the Schoonmaker replacement. or even Spann-Ford.
I know many like him over Schoonmaker, and has shown some potential. But I think they want to see more in the passing game.
Schoonmaker in the last year of his contract. I doubt the offer him a 2nd contract. Or can they even trade him for a late round draft pick. Maybe during TC.
 
I want to temper my enthusiasm.

Something was not right with Trigg through the pre-draft interview process for a player of his talent to not get drafted. Look at the list of tight ends that did get selected this weekend and I bet 80 percent of them have nowhere near the talent Trigg has.

Maybe this goes beyond the maturity and benching issues he had in college. Teams that talked to him at the combine might not have liked what they heard. Hopefully I am wrong.
 
There are always TEs signed as UDFA that appear to be All World caliber by Dallas and then fizzle out just as fast. Let’s hope he is the real deal and every NFL team got it wrong. I think I’ll wait and see what happens in TC and PS before jumping to conclusions.

It's not that the nfl got it wrong. He's just got some issues that made him drop out of the draft. He needed to do everything right in the draft process and he didn't even work out because of a hamstring issue. Probably could have been 3rd-4th if he was a clean prospect.

What was the discipline issues?





  • Served one-game suspension for “disciplinary matter” at both Ole Miss (Nov. 2022) and at Baylor (Sept. 2024); involved in sideline incident with former Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades in 2025 — Rhoades is alleged to have taken exception to a gold, long-sleeved undershirt worn by Trigg during a home game against Arizona State (Rhoades’ role in the incident was investigated by the university)
