"Somehow, in two weeks, All-Pro returner KaVontae Turpin was flagged for something you rarely see in two full years. Against both the Chiefs and Lions, Turpin called for a fair catch before taking off running, causing a flag to be thrown on him both times. The mistakes by Turpin this year have been hard to watch; at times, he feels like the one guy you don't want to touch the ball, because you just don't know what will happen."
"I think I'm done giving KaVontae Turpin targets on offense. Just not a natural WR - Marcus Mosher (@Marcus_Mosher) November 18, 2025 We've also seen, despite him being third in return yards, some regression on special teams. He just doesn't look all that comfortable or confident in 2025. Dallas extended him this offseason, but at 29 years old, it may be best to let that contract go and give the return duties and gadget role to a younger, cheaper, explosive option."
Dallas's Thursday night loss to the Detroit Lions sharply reduced playoff probability and shifted fan expectation toward 2026. The roster requires targeted changes but faces limited salary-cap flexibility, particularly with George Pickens' impending contract. The team must pursue creative roster construction while reinforcing weak units. KaVontae Turpin has produced costly errors in 2025, including two fair-catch-then-return penalties and uneven special-teams play despite high return yardage, prompting consideration of releasing him in favor of a younger, cheaper, return specialist. Markquese Bell received a three-year extension but has struggled since, raising questions about his long-term fit under the current contract.
