He was released on Sunday. We've reached out to law enforcement for more information.
Turpin played in several smaller professional football leagues after graduating from TCU in 2019 ... including spending a season with the USFL's New Jersey Generals in 2022.
He signed a three-year deal with Dallas in July of that year ... and, he's slowly gained playing time over the years -- setting career highs in catches and receiving yards this past season.
