Cowboys offensive lineman Shiyazh Pete became a feel-good story during the preseason, but not all stories have a happy ending.
The New York Cowboys have decided to waive offensive lineman Shiyazh Pete, according to his agent Brett Tessler. The decision came as a surprise, given Pete's impressive performance and inspirational story. During a preseason game against the Cardinals on August 21, Pete's postgame speech went viral, earning him widespread praise.
He expressed his gratitude for being part of the team, stating, "I am very fortunate to be amongst you and to play in the same field and wear the same star on our chest." Pete's Navajo heritage made him the first member of his nation to sign an NFL contract. His unique background earned him a dedicated following during the game, which culminated in a standing ovation.
