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.

CEO of Buffalo Bills Declares Ban on Anyone Wearing Shirts Resembling Tyler Robinson and the Teen Who Defaced Charlie Kirk Memorial
CEO of Buffalo Bills Declares Ban on Anyone Wearing Shirts Resembling Tyler Robinson and the Teen Who Defaced Charlie Kirk Memorial Buffalo — In a bold and controversial decision, Buffalo Bills CEO Terry Pegula has announced that any fan wearing shirts resembling those worn by Tyler Robinson, the accused assassin of Charlie Kirk, and the teenager who defaced the Kirk memorial will be banned from entering Highmark Stadium. The rule takes effect immediately and will be enforced at all home games. The decision reflects heightened concerns about symbolism and security in professional sports. After consultations with stadium authorities and team leadership, the Bills concluded that stronger preventive steps were necessary. A spokesperson explained the move as a way to “protect the fan experience and ensure Highmark Stadium remains a safe, inclusive place for all supporters.” At a press conference, Pegula stressed that even the smallest details could spiral into larger problems. He declared:“I don’t know if this is some strange coincidence or a darker plot behind it, but I will not allow it inside Highmark Stadium. A single detail can bring a major disaster. Something is being spread through that shirt.” The announcement sent ripples across the NFL community. Supporters commended Pegula’s decisive leadership, calling it a proactive step to protect fans. Critics, however, argued that banning apparel based on resemblance could create confusion and fuel debates over free expression. Security experts pointed out that the Bills will need transparent enforcement protocols, including visible signage, updated ticketing terms, and proper staff training to avoid inconsistent application. No matter where the public lands on the issue, Pegula’s decree ensures that Highmark Stadium is now at the center of a wider national conversation — where the balance between safety, symbolism, and personal freedom will be tested under the bright lights of one of the NFL’s most passionate fan bases.
