BREAKING: Bears Release Major Caleb Williams Update Before Massive Wild Card Battle vs. Packers

Frisco, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys have terminated the contract of Bruce Harmon just 12 hours after the organization confirmed it was aware of a lawsuit involving allegations of off-field harassment. The move was made quickly and decisively, coming at a sensitive point in the offseason as the Cowboys begin rebuilding following a disappointing 2025 season. Although the Cowboys announced an official reason tied to a personnel decision, the timing and circumstances have made this one of the most notable roster cuts of the early offseason. However, according to sources, the true cause was not related to on-field performance or routine roster management — but rather to serious off-field allegations that forced the organization to act swiftly to protect its standards. At this time, the matter has not been publicly circulated and is being handled internally. Bruce Harmon, 23, was an undrafted free agent (UDFA) in 2025 out of Stephen F. Austin and had been viewed by the Cowboys as a developmental cornerback with long-term potential. He spent the majority of his rookie year on the practice squad after preseason, with very limited activation time and appeared in just a handful of games (mostly special teams snaps) during the 2025 season as defensive depth. Harmon was not a star, but he was a young, lesser-known player working to establish himself in the NFL — and had been given a legitimate opportunity within the Cowboys system before the off-field situation emerged. According to legal filings, the lawsuit was submitted by a woman who alleges that Harmon crossed professional boundaries through unwanted contact. The Cowboys confirmed they are aware of the allegations but declined to comment further due to the ongoing legal process. “We are aware of the matter and are handling it in accordance with proper procedures,” a team spokesperson said. Harmon has not issued a public response. What stands out is how the Cowboys handled the situation: decisive action paired with careful language. The team has not drawn conclusions, nor directly linked the roster move to any legal outcome, but it also did not delay. In a league increasingly focused on image and organizational standards, the decision reflects a priority on internal stability and off-field responsibility, especially as the team looks to rebuild the secondary ahead of 2026. Following the situation, team owner Jerry Jones issued a message emphasizing the organization’s commitment to fostering a safe, respectful, and equitable workplace — particularly for women and all individuals within the Cowboys organization. “We have a responsibility to protect our core values, protect our people, and uphold the standards we represent,” Jones said, underscoring that the team’s image and culture cannot be taken lightly.
