Dallas Cowboys fullback Hunter Luepke has agreed to terms on a two-year extension worth up to $7.5 million, the team announced on Wednesday.

Luepke, going into the final year of his three-year rookie contract, was set to earn $1.03 million against the salary cap this season, which starts Thursday night for the Cowboys at the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Dallas signed as an undrafted free agent in May 2023 out of North Dakota State.

Luepke becomes the third-highest-paid fullback in the league on a per-year basis, the NFL Network reported, with more than $5 million fully guaranteed. Only Alec Ingold of Miami and Minnesota’s C.J. Ham make more, according to Spotrac.

Luepke, 25, played in 16 games last season (four starts), rushed 12 times for 38 yards and caught 12 passes for 111 yards. He played on 37 percent of special teams snaps and 30 percent of offensive snaps.

For his career, Luepke has 18 carries for 57 yards and one touchdown, and 15 receptions for 129 yards in 33 games (four starts) over the past two seasons.

The Cowboys working a new contract with Luepke came three days after All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland agreed to terms on a four-year, $92 million contract extension.

These two extensions were both announced within a week of Dallas trading two-time All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark and first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2027.
