Dallas Cowboys

Derek Carr's recent touchdown celebration was "Bad" in the eyes of the NFL -- 'cause the New Orleans Saints quarterback was just fined a solid chunk of change for channeling his inner Michael Jackson against the Dallas Cowboys.

The pretty shocking moment (considering the subject) went down during the second quarter of the Saints' routing of America's Team in Week 2 ... when No. 4 executed a QB sneak to help put his squad up 35-13.

Once he reached the end zone, Carr did his best MJ impression ... doing a leg kick and grabbing his junk before making his way back to the sidelines.

CeeDee Lamb will be suiting up for the Dallas Cowboys next week after all ... the star wide receiver has ended his standoff with the team -- and has signed a new contract!!

The 25-year-old three-time Pro Bowler inked the new deal on Monday afternoon -- according to multiple reports -- agreeing to a four-year extension that will pay him a whopping $136 million.

The pact will make Lamb the second-highest-paid non-quarterback in the history of the NFL -- behind only Minnesota Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson, who just got a new contract of his own this offseason.

It may be week one of the preseason, but Rams and Cowboys fans are in midseason form ... 'cause loyal supporters of the organizations went toe-to-toe in a bloody brawl outside SoFi Stadium.

The fight went down right outside the SoFi gates in Los Angeles ... where video shows a fan wearing an Aaron Donald jersey getting thrown to the ground by a guy rockin' Troy Aikman threads -- before delivering some big blows to the head of the guy on the ground who appears to be out cold.

The camera then pans over to a group of women also going at it ... with one being dragged by the hair. One of the women turns her attention to a guy in a Puka Nacua jersey, and takes a swing at him ... all while you can hear a little girl screaming in the background.

Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Anthony Barr is the latest celeb Angeleno to fall victim to crime ... law enforcement tells TMZ Sports his L.A.-area pad was burglarized on Friday.

We're told the four-time Pro Bowler's crib was hit at around 2 AM ... when, according to our sources, three men smashed through a rear window and then ransacked the place.

Barr's security cameras, our sources say, caught the action -- and police were quickly notified. By the time the LAPD officers got to the scene, however, the burglars were gone.

A sexual assault lawsuit filed against Dak Prescott earlier this year has just been dismissed.

According to online court records, a Colin County, Texas judge threw out the suit on Wednesday.

The Dallas Cowboys star's attorney, Levi McCathern, said in a statement to TMZ Sports the judge found that the suit "lacked merit."

Jayla Allen -- the daughter of Dallas Cowboys legend Larry Allen -- said in a social media post Monday night she's stunned over her dad's death ... writing in an emotional message, "I feel like this is a nightmare and I can't [wake] up."

Larry -- a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the greatest interior offensive linemen the NFL's ever seen -- died on Sunday while on vacation in Mexico ... and his daughter seemed to indicate he had shown no signs of being in poor health prior to the tragedy.

Jayla said Larry's death left her "in complete shock," and now, she's not quite sure how she's going to pick up the pieces he left behind.

Emmitt Smith was devastated to learn of the passing of his former teammate Larry Allen on Monday ... saying in an emotional video he's at "a loss for words right now."

Smith, through tears, remembered Allen as a "good dude," a "great player," and a "super person" in a clip he posted to his Instagram page just minutes after the Dallas Cowboys revealed the former offensive lineman had died Sunday while on vacation in Mexico.

Smith played with Allen from 1994 to 2002 ... and while he said he hadn't been able to see much of the Hall of Famer following his retirement, he was still obviously shaken.

Dallas Cowboys legend Larry Allen -- arguably the best interior offensive lineman in NFL history -- has tragically died.

The team announced on Monday that Allen passed away on Sunday while on vacation with his family in Mexico. No further details surrounding his death were released.

"The Jones family and the Cowboys extend their deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to the Allen family," the Cowboys said in a statement, "and grieve along with the many other friends and Cowboys teammates that also loved Larry."

Dak Prescott and Sarah Jone are lovin' their new roles as parents so much, they just got matching tattoos to ensure they never forget this time in their lives.

The couple -- who just gave birth to baby MJ Rose in February -- shared images of their new ink on their social media pages Wednesday ... showing off the adorable tats with pride.

Each one features an M that turns into a J -- with a rose on the end of it.

The last pair of trousers Tom Brady ever wore in an NFL game are up for grabs -- the super-rare piece of history has hit the auction block ... and could fetch a TON of money!!

TMZ Sports has learned ... the uniform pants TB12 wore during Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2023 NFC Wild Card game against the Dallas Cowboys have been made available via Grey Flannel Auctions ... with bidding starting May 20.

The opening bid is $10k ... but considering the GOAT's jersey from the same game fetched $1.4 million last year, it's safe to say these slacks are gonna sell for a pretty penny.

Dak Prescott will not face criminal charges over allegations he sexually assaulted a woman seven years ago ... cops revealed Thursday they found insufficient evidence to pursue the case any further.

The woman, Victoria Shores, had made the claims against the Cowboys superstar in a report with the Dallas Police Department earlier this year ... alleging Dak had been inappropriate with her in the parking lot of the XTC Cabaret strip club in Texas on Feb. 2, 2017.

The quarterback, though, was adamant he committed no wrongdoing ... filing a lawsuit against the woman after alleging she was attempting to shake him down for $100 million with the claims. He also filed a police report of his own in the case over the alleged extortion plot.

Former Dallas Cowboys star Mike Jenkins was involved in a heated confrontation at a Florida bar over the weekend ... video obtained by TMZ Sports shows.

The incident happened at The Kenwood on Sunday night in St. Petersburg ... after Jenkins had apparently become upset with the way one of the establishment's employees had handled his credit card.

A witness tells us the worker had either misplaced or lost Jenkins' plastic -- which agitated the former 2008 NFL Draft first-round pick.

Micah Parsons is used to putting the hurt on quarterbacks, but it was the Dallas Cowboys star who was in a world of pain recently -- taking body shots from pro boxer AJ Graham!!

The 24-year-old linebacker was with the undefeated featherweight fighter this week at TMack Elite Training in Texas ... testing out the combat sport as part of his offseason workout routine.

At one point, Parsons and Graham ditched the punching bags for their own human bodies ... trading vicious blows until one of them backed out.

If CeeDee Lamb is truly upset with his contract in Dallas, he's doing a good job of hiding it ... promising on Sunday to be a Cowboy in 2024 -- seemingly no matter what.

Lamb -- who's going into the final year of his rookie deal with the Cowboys -- was out at a sports memorabilia event in Chantilly, Virginia ... when he was asked if Dallas fans should expect him to be on the field when games kick off next season.

After all, reports had circulated over the weekend that he might hold out in order to pressure the Cowboys into getting his new, long-term contract done.

But, Lamb made it clear he's going to be wearing a star on his helmet ... saying matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I'll be in Dallas!"

In fact, Lamb said the No. 1 thing he's looking forward to in the near future is simply winning with Dak Prescott and the rest of Big D.

It's all great news for the Cowboys ... as Lamb was arguably the top receiver in the league last season -- logging 1,749 yards and 12 TDs on 135 receptions.

Leighton Vander Esch is retiring at just 28 years old -- the Dallas Cowboys linebacker announced he is unable to return to the football field after his latest neck injury.

The team shared the news on Monday ... days after the former first round pick was released with a failed physical designation.

The All-Pro and Pro Bowler dropped a statement on the news ... saying, "I love the game of football so much, and my body won't cooperate any longer."

"I cherished every moment of my NFL career, and it has been such a blessing to play the game for as long as I have played."

Vander Esch was solid for the Cowboys D on the field ... but his six-year career was unfortunately riddled with injuries, including the neck ailment he suffered back in October that ended his 2023 season.

Jerry Jones spoke highly of LVE ... saying, "Seldom do you come across a player like Leighton, who grew up playing eight-man football only to first play the 11-man game at the major collegiate level and excel."

"His passion and love for the game was contagious, and from the moment he arrived, he has been a difference maker. His grit, toughness, motivation, determination and football IQ will be sorely missed. Leighton also embodied the strong character and personal qualities that make him much more than an accomplished player."

LVE finishes his career with 557 tackles ... including 176 in his first season alone, a franchise record for a rookie.

3/15 6:35 AM -- Dak Prescott's attorney, Levi McCathern, released a statement on the new investigation ... claiming the accuser and her legal team only filed a police report (in a different jurisdiction) after learning their "extortion plot" failed.

"Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what is going on," McCathern said. "Clearly they think that this will somehow mitigate their criminal responsibility for attempting this illegal shakedown."

"It won’t, and it is a true disservice to the real survivors of sexual abuse."

There are now dueling criminal investigations surrounding Dak Prescott and a Texas woman ... with Dallas police launching a probe into sexual assault allegations made against the Cowboys quarterback.

As we previously reported, Dak filed a lawsuit on Monday ... claiming Victoria Shores tried to extort $100 million out of him to not go to police over an alleged encounter that occurred on Feb. 2, 2017.

Prescott and his team have maintained Prescott has never engaged in any nonconsensual acts with anyone in his life ... adding they went to authorities to report Shores' "criminal actions."

TMZ Sports has confirmed the Dallas Police Department received a report on Tuesday of an alleged sexual assault outside the XTC Cabaret strip club on Feb. 2, 2017 ... and the investigation remains ongoing.

Meanwhile, Prosper, Texas officials are investigating Precott's claims ... and the whole back-and-forth will now play out both criminally and civilly.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones briefly addressed Prescott's status with the team on Thursday ... saying the ongoing situation would not impact his current contract negotiations, but had no further comment considering it is a legal matter.

Prescott is suing Shores and her attorneys for defamation, slander, civil extortion/duress and more.
