Former Cowboys Wants to Return to Dallas After Breakout UFL Season with 1400 Yards

Dallas, TX – June 30, 2025, 08:09 PM +07

The Dallas Cowboys’ wide receiver corps, led by CeeDee Lamb with 1,011 yards in 2024, has faced depth concerns after losing Brandin Cooks to the New Orleans Saints in free agency. With George Pickens and Jalen Tolbert as key options, the team is on the hunt for additional playmakers to support Dak Prescott’s Super Bowl chase in 2025. Enter former wide receiver Deontay Burnett, who has voiced a fervent desire to return to Dallas following a breakout UFL season with the Arlington Renegades, sources told ESPN Monday.

Burnett, who briefly joined the Cowboys’ 2024 training camp roster but saw no regular-season action (recording 2 catches for 15 yards in the preseason), led the UFL with 1,400 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns over 10 games in 2025, earning UFL Championship Game MVP honors. His stellar performance has put him back on the NFL radar. “I’d love to come back—it felt like home in Dallas,” Burnett told ESPN after a recent workout. “Working with Dak and seeing the potential here, I know I can help this team win a Super Bowl.”

The Cowboys are holding their first OTA session at The Star, where Burnett last wore the star logo, and his UFL success—highlighted by 280 return yards—positions him as a versatile weapon. His 6-foot-1 frame and speed make him a deep threat, potentially filling the void left by Cooks and complementing Pickens and Tolbert. This move could also see him compete for a return specialist role, adding depth behind KaVontae Turpin.

Burnett’s UFL breakout, following an ACL recovery in 2023, has thrilled Cowboys Nation. Known for his resilience, his 2025 stats showcase the playmaking ability Dallas once saw in him during camp. The team’s front office, led by Jerry Jones, has been active this offseason, securing veterans like Miles Sanders and drafting Jaydon Blue. Burnett’s potential return aligns with Jones’ strategy to bolster the offense around Prescott’s 4,516-yard 2024 season.

Fans on social media are buzzing, with posts like “Burnett’s back? Let’s go Cowboys!” reflecting optimism. With their opener against the Eagles on September 7 approaching, Burnett’s desire to return after a stellar UFL season signals his intent to spark Dallas’ championship dreams, potentially adding a dynamic edge to 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?
