Traeshon Holden is officially off the Dallas Cowboys roster, cut loose right after their preseason clash with our Seattle Seahawks. The Cowboys needed to make some space, and Holden became the odd man out to bring in veteran Von Miller.
The Roster Crunch Is Real
The Cowboys officially inked Von Miller Sunday evening, and that move immediately put them over the NFL’s 90-man roster limit. Seriously, they were already at 91 because of Adedayo Odeleye, who gets a special spot through the NFL International Player Pathway program. So, they absolutely *had* to clear someone out, and Holden was the player they decided to let go.
A Costly Play at Lumen Field
Holden’s fate might have been sealed during that preseason opener against our Hawks. He had a muffed punt during the third quarter of the game at Lumen Field on August 15, 2026. Dallas walked away with a 17-7 win that day, but that muffed punt from Holden certainly left a mark. We don’t know for sure if that specific play was the final nail in the coffin, or if it was just bad math, but it definitely didn’t help his case, especially with Camden Brown apparently separating himself from the wide receiver group. Holden himself seemed to know what was coming, scrubbing all Cowboys-related content from his Instagram early Monday and posting an “interesting story” that basically confirmed the move before it was officially announced.
Now, we just wait to see when Von Miller will actually hit the practice field for the Cowboys. For our Hawks, it’s all about pushing forward as the season gets underway.
