Cowboys' Mazi Smith 'Wants His Stuff Back!' After 'Insane' Storage-Unit Auction Goof

Dallas Cowboys' Mazi Smith 'Wants His Stuff Back!' After 'Insane' Storage-Unit Auction Goof

FRISCO - We really can chalk this up, we suppose, to growing pains. 

Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith arrived here a year ago at age 21, the first-round pick having played two seasons at Michigan before the big move. Not yet coming with him to DFW from his home state? A bunch of stuff he stashed in a storage garage in Ann Arbor ...

A storage garage he forgot to pay for, concedes attorney Levi G. McCathern.

And now - after the contents have been auctioned off - Mazi wants his stuff back.

"Obviously, Mazi has been in constant motion since being drafted last year,'' McCathern said. 'In the course of moving and changing banks, payment for this unit somehow fell through the cracks. Mazi obviously wants his possessions back, and we will immediately begin working towards that goal.

"We are hopeful that the individual in possession of Mazi's unique personal items will cooperate with us on their speedy return.''

That seems reasonable and fair. ... as long as the winning auction bidder (part of a standard process of a storage-unit company auctioning off contents inside unpaid-for garages) agrees.

The winning bidder, Vincent Broadway, gleefully revealed the contents of the unit in a recent TikTok video. Inside the garage? Thousands of dollars worth of Michigan gear, playbooks and a gun safe. Broadway claims the shoes (some of them player-exclusive Jordan stuff) is valued at around $20,000. There is also a Louis Vuitton toiletry bag valued at $1,000.

Can New Coach Mike Zimmer 'Fix' Mazi?

"I paid $1,880 for this storage locker,'' Broadway said, adding that it's "one of the craziest storage units I've ever purchased. ... It's insane.''

And now the question is, how much will it cost Mazi - who hopefully learns a lesson here about responsibility and who luckily has a $13 million contract with Dallas - to buy back his stuff and end the insanity?
