Following the season, KayDianna shared a statement on social media to announce that she would be stepping away from the team.
“After prayerful consideration, I have made the decision to step away from my role with the Dallas Cowboys organization,” she wrote. “While this was not the ending I had envisioned, it is one I felt led to make for myself, in full faith and peace.
“Though this door has closed, I trust fully in god’s plan and the new doors he is preparing to open. I do not view this as a setback, but as a divine setup for what’s next. He is not finished with me yet, and I am stepping forward with expectation and joy for all he has in store.”
