Turpin was arrested by police in Allen on
Saturday. The 28-year-old is out of jail on bond. There is no
record of an attorney for Turpin. The team declined to comment.
The former TCU standout is going into his fourth season with the
Cowboys and recently signed an $18 million, three-year contract.
Turpin's TCU career ended in 2018 when he was kicked off the
team after the school found out about a second domestic violence
case against him. The case from New Mexico was discovered
following an alleged incident with his girlfriend at an
off-campus apartment in Fort Worth. Both cases involved the same
woman.
The Cowboys signed Turpin out of the USFL in 2022. He had played
in several satellite football leagues before joining the USFL.
Turpin secured his spot on the team by returning a punt and a
kickoff for touchdowns in a 2022 preseason game. He was one of
the best return men in the NFL his first two years, but didn't
have any returns for TDs until his All-Pro season in 2024.
Turpin returned a punt and a kickoff for scores last season.
Turpin's role as a receiver has grown, and first-year coach
Brian Schottenheimer, who will call the plays on offense, has
indicated the speedy and diminutive player will be targeted more
often in his scheme.
Turpin had career bests of 31 catches for 420 yards and scored
two touchdowns last season. He had three TDs receiving and one
rushing in 2023.
