Cowboys All-Pro Star Suddenly Fighting For His Life In Dallas

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

The Dallas Cowboys could shock the world and part ways with one of their best players ahead of the 2026 NFL season. The Cowboys had one of the best offenses in the league last year, but one of the worst defenses in franchise history.

After a tumultuous campaign, they went out and improved the defense. Even though they couldn’t land Maxx Crosby, Dallas had a solid offseason.

The moves might not be over for the NFC East team, but they could part ways with an All-Pro player.

Kavontae Turpin On The Verge Of Getting Cut

LP Cruz of Blogging The Boys floated the idea that the Cowboys could release Kavontae Turpin in a move that could save $3.4 million.

“The first would be a logjam at wide receiver for the Cowboys,” Cruz wrote. “Sitting atop the depth chart you have George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb. After them, Ryan Flournoy, and then a host of young guys and veterans. Although Turpin is good for an explosive highlight on offense occasionally, he isn’t as polished a wide receiver as he is a return specialist. …

“Secondly, Jaydon Blue could step up in year two to take a more prominent role overall. He ended the season on a high note and so the team may want to increase his touches wherever they can. With the new kickoff rules, he’ll get more chances to get returns and showcase his speed.”

They are only about $7 million under the salary cap. Dallas needs to maneuver to create space and address other issues. Turpin joined the Cowboys as an unsigned free agent, becoming one of the best return men in the league.

He is a three-time Pro Bowler and a one-time All-Pro. Some have called for his trade, so this exit might not be completely shocking.
