KaVontae Turpin Signing Three-Year Deal With Cowboys

Tuesday, March 11, 2:07 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin is signing back with the Dallas Cowboys on a three-year, $18 million deal, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The 28-year-old was recently given a second-round tender that would pay him $5.38 million in 2025 but has now agreed to the new deal. Turpin went undrafted in 2019 out of TCU and spent four different alternative leagues before signing with Dallas in 2022. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 and 2024 and has a first-team All-Pro nod for his work as a return specialist in 2024. Overall, Turpin has returned 60 punts for 569 yards and one touchdown and returned 58 kickoffs for 1,704 yards and a score in 50 career games. As a receiver, he's hauled in 44 passes for 556 yards and five touchdowns. Turpin plays a valuable role for Dallas, but he's unlikely to be on the fantasy football radar since he's primarily a special teamer.

Troy Franklin has Had a Good Offseason

Thursday, June 12, 9:28 PM

Denver Broncos second-year wide receiver Troy Franklin has had a good offseason, has looked more explosive and added about five pounds, according to head coach Sean Payton. The Broncos took the Oregon product in the fourth round (102nd overall) in last year's draft to pair him with college teammate and quarterback Bo Nix. The slim pass-catcher's chemistry with Nix didn't really translate in Year 1 in the NFL, as he finished with 28 catches for 263 yards and two touchdowns on 53 targets over 16 regular-season games (six starts). The No. 2 role behind Courtland Sutton is up for grabs in Denver, with Franklin competing with Marvin Mims Jr., Devaughn Vele and rookie Pat Bryant for a bigger role in 2025. The addition of pass-catching tight end Evan Engram won't help. Franklin is worth keeping an eye on in training camp, but for now, he's outside of RotoBaller's top-100 fantasy receivers.
