The Dallas Cowboys have had a slew of former players that have died this year and that upsetting trend continued this week.
Following the deaths of Golden Richards, Tony Hutson, and Char-Ron Dorsey, the Dallas Cowboys franchise is being hit hard once again after the announcement that former defensive lineman Don Smerek has passed away after a battle with cancer.
He was just 66 years old.
Don Smerek, a Cowboys defensive lineman from the 1980s with a vibrant personality, died on March 16th. The former All-Big Sky defensive end is survived by his wife, three brothers, sister, nieces, and nephews.
In 1981, Smerek, an undrafted free agent from Nevada, signed with the Cowboys. During his seven seasons with Dallas, he appeared in 69 games, four of which he started. His career total of sacks was 14.5.
His career started off slow as he appeared in just nine games from 1980-1982. However, Smerek became a key contributor for the Cowboys in 1983. He finished that season with a career-high six sacks.

The family will hold a private memorial service in late March in Henderson, Nevada.
Man Was Arrested For Attempted Murder of Dallas Cowboys Defensive Lineman Don Smerek
Back in the early 1980s, a 26-year-old man was charged with attempted murder in the shooting of Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Don Smerek, according to UPI.com.
The then 25-year-old Smerek identified the suspect from pictures as he lay in a hospital bed. A friend of his said Smerek and the suspect argued a right-of-way in a nightclub’s crowded parking lot. It led to Smerek being shot following his temper tantrum when he began pounding on the suspect’s car and demanding he get out and fight.
Kenneth Wayne Watson surrendered to police but would soon be back on the streets after posting a $3,500 bond.
A Dallas County grand jury ultimately decided to decline to indict him in that shooting as jurors believed there was sufficient evidence the shooting was in self-defense.

Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr. Drops Major Hint About Which NFL Team He Wants Drafting Him With Interesting Social Media Activity

Ohio State Buckeyes star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. just dropped a major hint on which team he wants to land with in next month’s NFL Draft.
The son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, Harrison Jr. is widely expected to be the first wide receiver taken in the 2024 NFL Draft. It’s widely assumed that quarterbacks Caleb Williams (USC), Jayden Daniels (LSU) and Drake Maye (North Carolina) will be the first three draft picks.
Arizona has the No. 4 selection in this month’s draft, and you’ve probably seen a million mock drafts with the Cardinals taking Marvin Harrison Jr. fourth overall. But as picked up by Dov Kleiman on X/Twitter, Harrison Jr.’s recent social media activity suggests that the second-generational wideout would like to land with the Los Angeles Chargers at No. 5 overall:

Both the Chargers and Cardinals have a pressing need for wide receiver help. Los Angeles traded six-time Pro Bowler Keenan Allen to the Chicago Bears last week and released veteran star Mike Williams (signed with the New York Jets) in a cap-saving move.
The Cardinals also lost their No. 1 WR of 2023, Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency. So it’d be a giant surprise if they didn’t use the No. 4 pick on a wide receiver, especially Marvin Harrison Jr. is available there.

Marvin Harrison Jr. & Justin Herbert Would Be A Dynamic Tandem
There’s a high chance that the Chargers would have to trade up if they were to snag Marvin Harrison Jr. over the Cardinals. But if they can somehow make it happen, a Harrison Jr.-Justin Herbert combo would be downright explosive.
Whether it comes via trade or free agency, the Chargers have to rebuild the receiving room if Herbert is to bounce back under Jim Harbaugh. And getting a generational WR talent like Harrison Jr. would go a long way in helping the Bolts regain their top form on offense.
