Cooper Beebe rookie contract figures with Dallas Cowboys revealed after NFL Draft

Following Cooper Beebe‘s No. 73 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, his rookie contract numbers have been revealed.

According to Spotrac, the former Wildcats star will sign a four-year rookie deal worth approximately $5.929 million. As a third-round draft pick, Beebe’s rookie deal won’t come with a fifth-year option for the Cowboys, which means unless they extend or re-sign him, he’ll become a free agent after the 2027 season.

Cowboys select Beebe with third-round pick

The Dallas Cowboys selected offensive lineman Cooper Beebe out of Kansas State with the No. 73 pick they added by trading down in the first round. The decorated guard joins Dallas after the team selected Western Michigan edge rusher Marshawn Kneeland in the second round.

After redshirting his first season at Kansas State, Beebe earned first-team All-Big 12 Conference honors in 2021. He started all 13 games at left tackle before moving to left guard in 2022.

After the move, he earned All-American second-team honors and the Big 12’s offensive lineman of the year award. As a senior, Beebe earned a nomination as a finalist for the Outland Trophy and was once again the Big 12’s offensive lineman of the year. He became Kansas State’s first consensus All-American offensive lineman in school history.

NFL.com‘s Lance Zierlein broke down what he likes about Beebe ahead of the draft.

“Wide-bodied guard who has been a model of consistency over the last four years, dialing in a very firm brand of football. While hand placement can be a little inconsistent, Beebe is still a bulldozer in cleats who jolts smaller players and moves big ones against their will.

“A lack of arm length will test him in certain interior matchups in the pros, and he will need to improve his technique to bolster his block sustain. He’s slow of foot and is likely to be pigeonholed into downhill-oriented rush attacks, but that has never prevented him from doing his job in pass protection. Beebe’s experience, girth and drive-blocking talent should make him a long-time starter who can step in right away.”
