Cowboys Invite Veteran QB Ryan Tannehill to Tryouts to Bolster Backup Options for Dak Prescott

Dallas, TX – June 28, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys are taking decisive action to strengthen their quarterback depth chart as they prepare for the 2025 season, inviting veteran quarterback Ryan Tannehill to tryouts to enhance backup support for star Dak Prescott, sources revealed Saturday. The move comes amid growing concerns about the team’s secondary options behind their franchise leader.

Tannehill, 36, brings a wealth of experience and notable achievements to the table. Over his 12-year NFL career, primarily with the Tennessee Titans (2019-2022) and Miami Dolphins (2012-2018), he has thrown for 36,409 yards, 216 touchdowns, and 115 interceptions, earning a Pro Bowl nod in 2019 and leading the Titans to the AFC Championship Game that year. His 2023 stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he started six games and posted a 3-3 record with 1,428 yards and 7 touchdowns, showcased his ability to step up when needed. “Ryan’s a proven leader with a strong arm,” said Cowboys COO Stephen Jones, hinting at the team’s interest in his veteran presence.

The invitation follows the departure of Cooper Rush to the Baltimore Ravens in free agency, leaving Will Grier and Joe Milton III as the current backups. With Prescott, 31, having missed significant time due to injuries over the past five seasons—including a hamstring issue in 2024—coach Brian Schottenheimer emphasized the need for reliability. “Dak’s our cornerstone, but we need a seasoned backup ready to perform,” Schottenheimer noted. Tannehill’s potential one-year deal, estimated at $2-3 million, fits within the Cowboys’ $32 million cap space, offering a cost-effective solution.

Tannehill’s tryout, scheduled for July 2, 2025, during OTAs, will assess his arm strength and decision-making under pressure. His 2023 PFF passing grade of 81.6 reflects solid performance, despite inconsistent team support. Fans on social media are optimistic, with posts like “Tannehill as QB2? Smart move!” and “Two-time Pro Bowler could save us if Dak goes down.”

This strategic move addresses depth concerns following Prescott’s 2024 injury, ensuring the offense remains competitive against NFC East rivals. For Tannehill, it’s a chance to prove he’s more than a stopgap—a veteran poised to protect Dallas’ Super Bowl aspirations. Stay tuned for updates as the Cowboys refine their roster.

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?
