Police admitted they had the wrong guy when they issued a warrant for Lucky Whitehead’s arrest on Monday, but the Dallas Cowboys stood by their decision to release the wide receiver. Does the team know something about the situation that we don’t?
Kate Hairopoulos of the Dallas Morning News reports that the Cowboys remain “suspicious” of Whitehead’s version of what happened with the arrest warrant. Although police confirmed his innocence, Whitehead reportedly changed his story multiple times when speaking to the team.
It was a horrible look for the Cowboys to cut a player who was a victim of mistaken identity, but neither Jason Garrett nor Jerry Jones expressed regret over the situation. In fact, Garrett danced around a question about whether or not Whitehead told him he was innocent.
“We know a lot of things about our players that you guys don’t know,” the coach said.
