FRISCO, TX — The Cowboys are doubling down on physical football, signing fullback Hunter Luepke to a two-year extension worth up to $7.5 million.
Luepke, undrafted out of North Dakota State in 2023, has become a steady presence in Dallas’ offense. While his stats are modest, his value shows up in the dirty work—clearing lanes in the run game, handling short-yardage duties, and contributing on special teams.
In an era where the traditional fullback role is nearly extinct, Luepke’s versatility and toughness have kept him in the mix. The new deal ensures the Cowboys keep a key piece of their run-first identity heading into a pivotal season.
