Tyrus Wheat Returns to Dallas Cowboys on One-Year Deal

The Dallas Cowboys have signed defensive end Tyrus Wheat to a one-year, $1.755 million contract. Wheat, who originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with Dallas in 2023, spent the 2025 season with the Detroit Lions, where he recorded 15 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 15 appearances. The move is intended to bolster the Cowboys' defensive line depth and provide support on special teams as the team reshapes its roster for the 2026 season.
