Freiermuth poised for bounce-back under McCarthy with Smith gone; elite efficiency when targeted.
Pat FreiermuthTEPIT
Freiermuth recorded 486 yards and four touchdowns in 2025 despite playing in all 17 games, marking the second-lowest receiving yardage total of his career. However, he was productive when targeted with a career-best 11.9 yards per reception, and just over half of his catches went for first downs. With Jonnu Smith out of the picture in 2026, Freiermuth should have an easier time claiming the role of the team's top receiving tight end. McCarthy helped jump-start the careers of both Dalton Schultz (808 yards in 2021) and Jake Ferguson (761 yards in 2023) during their time in Dallas, suggesting Freiermuth could see increased usage and a potential career resurgence.
