"Borderline Lazy?" – Rookie RB Jaydon Blue Claps Back After Cowboys Insider Sparks Controversy

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue is already making headlines—and not for the reasons fans expected. Former Cowboys coach Glenn “Stretch” Smith raised eyebrows this week when he claimed team insiders had described Blue as “borderline lazy,” sparking instant debate across Cowboys Nation.

Smith, who now hosts a radio show and served as a scout and assistant under Bill Parcells, stated that some within the Cowboys coaching staff had concerns about Blue’s off-field focus. “He’s not doing much extra work,” Smith said. “You can see it. There’s talent there, but the urgency’s missing.”

But Blue wasn’t having it.

The rookie fired back on Instagram, calling it a “fake article” and blasting the attention around it. “Lmao taking time out yo day to make fake article about me for attention,” he posted. The post quickly made waves online, with fans split between backing the young RB and wondering if the smoke has some fire.

Adding more fuel to the fire, Blue’s former coach at Texas, Steve Sarkisian, came to his defense, describing him as a “great teammate” and “high-character player.” Sarkisian emphasized Blue’s work ethic and impact at Texas, especially during his 730-yard, 8-touchdown junior season.

Blue, a high-upside back with elite speed and burst, joined Dallas as part of their backfield reshuffle. With veterans Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams atop the depth chart, Blue is expected to carve out a role through special teams and reps during camp. But now, all eyes will be on how he responds—not just with words, but with action.

The Cowboys haven’t made any official comment on the situation, but internal buzz says the coaching staff is watching Blue closely heading into camp. After the Ezekiel Elliott years, Dallas is craving a consistent, explosive, and committed RB2—and Jaydon Blue could still be that guy.

But in a franchise where distractions can quickly spiral into headlines, Blue’s first off-field moment is already testing his poise.

He’s fast, he’s flashy—but is he focused? Cowboys fans are about to find out. And if Blue wants to shut down the noise, there’s only one way: let the pads do the talking.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026. What do YOU think – is this legitimate workplace harassment, or is the cheerleader blowing things out of proportion?
