Cowboys cut WR Traeshon Holden to make room for future Hall of Famer

In a rapid shift within the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys parted ways with former Oregon Ducks wide receiver Traeshon Holden on Monday, as reported by Dallas Morning News correspondent Joseph Hoyt. Holden was initially signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cowboys in 2025. His release clears a roster spot for future Hall of Fame edge rusher Von Miller, whom the Cowboys recently inked to a contract.

During his stint with the Cowboys, Holden initially gained popularity among fans in training camp, demonstrating his potential through notable plays in preseason games. However, his performance took a turn during the team's first preseason match against the Seattle Seahawks, where he failed to catch any passes and inadvertently turned the ball over.

Rookie Camden Brown, on the other hand, secured two touchdowns, diminishing Holden's claim to a roster spot. Despite the setback, Holden's remarkable speed and knack for making difficult catches continued to impress the Cowboys, resulting in his retention on the practice squad. With multiple teams trimming their rosters or addressing injury concerns, Holden may find a new home elsewhere.

Having spent two seasons with Oregon following a transfer from Alabama, Holden contributed 82 catches for 1,170 yards and 12 touchdowns during the Ducks' undefeated 2024 campaign under Dillon Gabriel. As teams continue to reassess their rosters, hold an eye out for Holden's next move. For the latest Oregon Ducks updates and coverage, follow @Ducks_Wire on X (formerly Twitter) and our Facebook page.
