This is a big shock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0could shock the world and part ways with one of their best players ahead of the 2026\u00a0NFL season. The Cowboys had one of the best offenses in the league last year, but one of the worst defenses in franchise history.<\/p>\n
After a tumultuous campaign, they went out and improved the defense. Even though they\u00a0couldn\u2019t land Maxx Crosby, Dallas had a solid offseason.<\/p>\n
The moves might not be over for the NFC East team, but they could part ways with an All-Pro player.<\/p>\n

LP Cruz of Blogging The Boys floated the idea that the Cowboys could\u00a0release Kavontae Turpin\u00a0in a move that could save $3.4 million.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first would be a logjam at wide receiver for the Cowboys,\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Cruz wrote.\u00a0\u201cSitting atop the depth chart you have George Pickens and\u00a0CeeDee 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\u2019t as polished a wide receiver as he is a return specialist. \u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
\u201cSecondly, 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\u2019ll get more chances to get returns and showcase his speed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\n
He is a three-time Pro Bowler and a one-time All-Pro. Some have\u00a0called for his trade, so this exit might not be completely shocking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
