Rumors resurface about DC 2017 decision on Patrick Mahomes.

Rumors are swirling again about one of the biggest “what-ifs” in recent NFL history: Did the Dallas Cowboys really pass on Patrick Mahomes?

According to a recently resurfaced source claiming insider knowledge from the 2017 draft process, Mahomes was on the Cowboys’ radar—but not high enough. The anonymous scout alleges that Mahomes had a pre-draft interview with the team, but Dallas ultimately didn’t believe he was the right long-term fit.

The Cowboys famously picked defensive end Taco Charlton with the 28th overall pick, while Mahomes went 10th to the Kansas City Chiefs—where he’s since become a two-time MVP and Super Bowl champion. The comparison between what was and what could’ve been has haunted fans for years.

Fueling the fire, a screenshot allegedly showing internal notes from Dallas’ front office went viral this week, suggesting Mahomes was “too raw” and “not NFL-ready.” While no official source has verified the image, it reignited heated debate on Cowboys social media circles.

But here’s the truth: The Cowboys did host Mahomes for a visit, and Jerry Jones has publicly admitted that Mahomes was a name of interest. However, they never had a legitimate shot to draft him without trading up. Kansas City moved aggressively, something Dallas wasn’t prepared to do at the time.

So yes, the Cowboys missed out—but calling it a “rejection” may be rewriting history a little too much.

 

Bills WR Officially Benched After Repeatedly Showing Up Late to Team Meetings - This Is His Fifth Time Being Late, He Was Reportedly Intoxicated
SHOCKING news out of Orchard Park: The Buffalo Bills have indefinitely benched their former second-round wide receiver after yet another disciplinary incident. Sources inside One Bills Drive confirm this marks the FIFTH time in the 2025 season the player has been late to a team meeting — and the latest offense was the final straw: he reportedly showed up reeking of alcohol. Moments after Monday’s team meeting, head coach Sean McDermott addressed the media with a tone that left no room for interpretation: “The Buffalo Bills will not tolerate disrespect toward this football team, disrespect toward your teammates, and disrespect toward yourself. We’ve given chances, we’ve had private conversations, we’ve done everything we can. At this point, enough is enough. When you walk into this building, you represent an entire city and an entire fan base. We cannot and will not accept this any longer.” That player? None other than Keon Coleman — the once-hyped Florida State product drafted in the second round of 2024 to be Josh Allen’s next big-play weapon. From “generational talent” to full-blown headache in less than two seasons: Incidents 1–2: Late to meetings → internal warnings Incident 3: Benched for two full games in November 2025 Incident 4: Seen dancing on the sideline while serving that benching Incident 5: Showed up late AGAIN… and allegedly intoxicated → indefinitely removed from the active roster Just weeks ago, Bills Hall of Famer Andre Reed spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to mentor the 22-year-old, but it now appears the message fell on deaf ears. With no Bills receiver currently on pace for even 760 yards this season and the room already paper-thin after the Amari Cooper and Brandin Cooks additions, losing Keon Coleman — even for non-football reasons — is a gut punch. Bills Mafia is LIVID. Many are already calling for the front office to cut their losses, just like they did with first-round bust Kaiir Elam and second-round flop Boogie Basham. The million-dollar question now: Is this the end of Keon Coleman in Buffalo, or will Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane give him one final lifeline? Drop your take in the comments: Keep Keon and hope he grows up… or ship him out TODAY? 👇🔥
