The Dallas Cowboys are releasing wide receiver Traeshon Holden ahead of Tuesday’s 53-man roster deadline, per NFL Insider Jordan Schultz . Holden signed with Dallas this offseason as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon .

Holden spent two years at Oregon after starting his career at  Alabama , and he turned in the best year of his career in 2024. He totaled 45 receptions for 718 yards and five touchdowns as the Ducks won a Big Ten championship in their first season in the conference. That came after an impressive junior year when he had 452 yards and six touchdowns.
