The most recent notable Dallas Cowboys release was cornerback Kaiir Elam , a former first‑round pick whom Dallas had acquired via trade earlier in 2025 and then cut later in the season as younger defensive backs emerged.

Quick Scoop

  • The Cowboys traded for Kaiir Elam in 2025, sending mid‑round draft picks to Buffalo before deciding he was surplus to requirements as other corners stepped up.
  • Elam was officially released on a Saturday in November 2025, with Dallas promoting running back Malik Davis from the practice squad to fill the roster spot.
  • Earlier in the 2025 preseason cycle, the team also released cornerbacks Andrew Booth Jr. and Zion Childress during roster shuffling around practice‑squad moves.

If you meant a different time frame (like final 53‑man cuts or a specific game week), say the date or context and a more targeted list of who the Cowboys released around then can be laid out.
