The Dallas Cowboys released wide receiver Traeshon Holden on August 17, 2026, following a disappointing performance in their first preseason game. Holden, who signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2025, failed to make an impact against the Seattle Seahawks, where he muffed a punt and did not catch any passes. His release opens a roster spot for future Hall of Fame edge rusher Von Miller, whom the Cowboys agreed to sign on the same day. Despite this setback, Holden's potential may attract other teams interested in his skills.
