The Dallas Cowboys have reassigned jersey number 94, previously worn by the late Marshawn Kneeland, creating tension with former teammate Juanyeh Thomas according to reports.

The reassignment of the number has generated controversy within the Cowboys organization, with Thomas expressing displeasure over the decision. The specific details of Thomas's objections and the timeline of the reassignment have not been fully disclosed.

Kneeland's number 94 held significance within the team, and the decision to make it available for reassignment appears to have caught some former players off guard. The Cowboys have not publicly commented on the reasoning behind the timing of the decision.

The controversy highlights the sensitivity around jersey numbers in professional sports, particularly when they belonged to deceased players. Teams typically handle such decisions with careful consideration of player sentiment and organizational tradition.

Thomas, who previously played alongside Kneeland, has become the most vocal critic of the reassignment decision. The nature of his relationship with the organization and his current status with the team may influence how the situation develops.
