Cowboys S Markquese Bell Arrested On Friday

Todd Archer of ESPN reports that Cowboys S Markquese Bell was arrested on Friday and charged with possession of a controlled substance and marijuana.

The Cowboys are aware of the arrest and declined to comment on the situation at this time, according to Archer.

The possession of a controlled substance is a felony, while the possession of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor in Texas.

Bell, 27, wound up going undrafted out of Florida A&M back in 2022. He later signed a three-year rookie contract with the Cowboys and made the 53-man roster.

Bell has been on the team’s active roster ever since and was set to become a restricted free agent before signing a three-year, $9 million deal with the team in 2025.
