Cowboys WR KaVontae Turpin Arrested, Released on Bond

Dallas Cowboys All-Pro returner and wide receiver KaVontae Turpin, 28, was arrested in Allen, Texas, over the Fourth of July weekend on misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana (less than two ounces) and unlawful carrying of a weapon. Turpin, who recently signed a three-year, $18 million extension after a breakout 2024 season that included First Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors, was released from Collin County Jail after posting bond. The Cowboys have not issued a statement regarding the arrest. Turpin’s NFL journey included being dismissed from TCU due to assault charges, winning a USFL MVP award, and later joining Dallas. The NFL is expected to review the incident under its personal conduct and substance-abuse policies, though significant suspensions for marijuana are rare. The situation remains under development as training camp approaches.
