Tyrus Wheat: Breaking News

Staying in Dallas

Wheat is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Cowboys, Jane Slater of NFL.com reports. Wheat is in a similar position to 2025, where he signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys as an exclusive-rights free agent. As an unrestricted free agent, the defensive end has decided to stay in Dallas once again. The 26-year-old will likely maintain his role as a depth piece for the defensive line as well as a consistent special-teams contributor.

Gets one-year deal with Dallas

The Cowboys signed Wheat to a one-year, $1.03 million contract Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the team's official site reports. Wheat didn't have the ability to negotiate with any other team due to him being an exclusive rights free agent, so he will be with the Cowboys for the 2025 campaign after Dallas extended a one-year offer equal to the league minimum for the defensive end position. Wheat served in a rotational role during the 2024 regular season and finished with 14 tackles (six solo), including 0.5 sacks, across eight games.
