Minnesota Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner was allegedly scammed out of $240,000 in a bank fraud scheme, according to the Star Tribune and ESPN.
A police spokesperson told ESPN that charges are in the works for several substances and that around $2,500 of the stolen funds have been recovered:
“Through our investigation, several suspects have been identified, and we are working toward criminal charges to hold them accountable,” Eagan (Minnesota) Police Sgt. Rich Evans said in a statement to ESPN. Approximately $2,500 of the stolen funds have been returned, Evans said, adding that the investigation remains active.
The details of the alleged scheme were laid out in a search warrant affidavit filed in Dakota County District this week, as part of the police’s effort to seize financial records from the JPMorgan Chase branch in Eagan, Minn., the city where the Vikings’ practice facility is located.

Basically, someone called Turner pretending to be a JP Morgan Chase employee and got him to wire the money to two other supposed business accounts. From the Star Tribune:
Turner and his attorney contacted police in April to report that Turner received a call on Feb. 19 “from an individual impersonating a JP Morgan Chase banker. The caller claimed someone was attempting to impersonate [Turner] at a Chase Bank branch in Arizona and presented two copies of ID to execute a wire transfer.”
The caller directed Turner to immediately transfer his money to two separate business accounts in an effort to thwart the theft attempt.
That afternoon, Turner went to a Chase branch in Eagan and transferred $120,000 to “Island Food Truck LLC.” Before day was over, he visited a Chase Bank branch in West St. Paul and transferred another $120,000 to “CNL FL LLC.”
Turner was the Vikings’ first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, going 17th overall out of Alabama. Per OverTheCap, the Fort Lauderdale native is guaranteed $15.8 million on his rookie contract with an $8.3 million signing bonus received last year.
The 22-year-old saw sporadic action in his rookie season, appearing in 16 games and starting none while accruing 17 total tackles and three sacks. Pro Football Focus graded him out as No. 90 on a list of 211 edge defenders for the season.

At Alabama, he was the 2023 SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year, alongside Mississippi State’s Nathaniel Watson, after tying for the SEC lead in sacks with 10.

College Football QB Power Rankings: Arch Manning falls from top 50, TCU’s Josh Hoover ascends to No. 1 spot
The top two signal-callers from the much-maligned quarterback class of 2023 stumbled out of the gate Saturday, as Texas' Arch Manning and UCLA's Nico Iamaleava both struggled in Week 1 losses. Their poor showings led to a major shakeup in this week's quarterback power rankings.Manning's performance in Texas' 14-7 loss at Ohio State was particularly jarring. The former No. 1 overall prospect didn't complete a pass of more than nine yards until the fourth quarter. Iamaleava wasn't much better in his UCLA debut, hitting just 11 of 22 passes for 136 yards in a 43-10 loss at Utah.Both Manning and Iamaleava dropped out of the top 50 altogether. The biggest risers were Florida State's Tommy Castellanos and Auburn's Jackson Arnold, who used their legs to vault into the top 10 with impressive debuts for new teams.These rankings are not a […]
Fantasy football rankings 2025: Sleepers, top picks from NFL model that nailed James Cook’s big season
The 49ers are looking to be the latest team to complete the last-to-first transformation in their division, which has been done in four of the last five seasons, and if San Francisco can accomplish that, there's a good chance they'll have some players outperforming their ADP in 2025 Fantasy football drafts. One of the benefits of coming in last place is an easier schedule the following year, so can 49ers like Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle finish toward the very top of their positions in Fantasy points.The 49ers already have additional injuries early in training camp, on top of Brandon Aiyuk, who will miss at least the first few weeks of the season following his knee injury last year. Aiyuk's early-season absence drops him in 2025 Fantasy football rankings, but he's still someone to be drafted, and he […]

Bill Belichick’s UNC Debut Exposed Flaws — But It’s Too Soon to Panic
Bill Belichick's debut as North Carolina's head coach might have been the worst game of his head coaching career.The 48 points UNC gave up to TCU on Monday night were more than any Belichick-coached team gave up in any game during his 29 seasons as an NFL head coach. The 48-14 final was also tied for the second-largest margin of defeat in Belichick's head coaching career. After Belichick's Tar Heels committed a multitude of errors that allowed the Horned Frogs to score 41 straight points in Monday's game, FOX Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt admitted that he's a bit concerned about UNC. However, he has some hope that the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach can work some of his magic, while getting some scheduling luck, to right the ship in Chapel Hill. "Am I worried about North Carolina? Yeah, a […]
