10 Cowboys Who Will Be Cut By Tuesday's Roster Deadline
By Jovan Alford
10. Villami Fehoko Jr.
The 2023 fourth-round pick could be out of Dallas this summer after failing to impress the coaches in the preseason.
The former San Jose State defensive lineman played the second-most snaps on defense in the finale against the Chargers (38). However, Fehoko Jr. only had a tackle, pass deflection, and a QB hit.
The 24-year-old defensive end has had a disappointing preseason, which isn’t good as he didn’t play his rookie season.
The Cowboys hoped Fehoko’s skills and production from San Jose St. (43 tackles for loss and 22 sacks) would transfer over to the pros, but sadly it hasn’t. Dallas likely doesn’t want to cut a former fourth-round pick, so don’t be surprised if they try to trade Fehoko.
However, with the 6-foot-4 defensive end not doing much in the preseason, he won’t have many trade suitors. Therefore, with the Cowboys having an abundance of veteran talent on the d-line, they will likely cut him and potentially put him on the practice squad.
But that might be a stretch as Dallas could use the practice squad spot on another player on the roster or from another team who has shown more upside to start their career.
