The Dallas Cowboys received some rather shocking new on Wednesday when they were informed that one of their wide receivers is hanging up his cleats for good.  The news came as teams across the NFL are starting their organized team activities (OTAs).

This is a move that not many saw coming.  Here are the details.

Cowboys’ Wide Receiver Retires At 28-Years-Old (Breaking)

According to Jonathan Jones of CBS, Cowboys wide receiver Parris Campbell has retired from the NFL. Despite signing a one-year, $1.33 million contract with Dallas last offseason, Campbell only appeared in one game with the team. That happened to be a Week 6 loss to the Carolina Panthers, and spent most of 2025 on the practice squad. In January, he signed a reserve/future contract with the Cowboys.

The Indianapolis Colts selected Campbell in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. In 2024, he won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he also played one season for the New York Giants.
