The Dallas Cowboys have been swirling in trade rumors for weeks, and it looks like that chatter won't die down anytime soon.
If a trade does go down this offseason, it's worth keeping an eye on their 29-year-old All-Pro return specialist. The Cowboys Wire’s Reid D Hanson suggests that he could be a key piece in any potential deal.
Last season, the Cowboys tried to broaden Turpin’s role. There were moments of brilliance and some hiccups along the way. While he posted career numbers on offense, there were also some costly mistakes and drops that couldn't be ignored.
Turpin's return game, usually his strong suit, took a hit as well. He picked up some uncharacteristic penalties and seemed to lose a bit of his usual confidence. Despite a down year, Turpin remains highly valued across the league.
His blazing speed is undeniable, and with a contract extending through 2027, he's an attractive asset for teams seeking a spark. While the Cowboys might hesitate to lose his skills in the return game, they could manage the loss offensively.
Turpin isn't just any wide receiver; his true danger lies in his kick return prowess. The former TCU standout excels with his explosive acceleration and smart play, letting his blockers set the stage for big returns.
He wrapped up the 2025-26 season with 1,814 yards and a touchdown, earning second-team All-Pro honors.
For any team looking to shake things up, Turpin would be a tempting addition, making him a logical piece to consider in any offseason trade discussions.
